Fetterman: Agriculture can’t ‘cannibalize’ climate change funding
The Hill ^ | 04/27/2023 | SAUL ELBEIN

Federal funds aimed at helping agriculture address the impacts of climate change must not be raided to fund agriculture as a whole, Democratic senators say.

The move comes as Congressional Republicans suggest defunding agricultural conservation programs entirely.

“I strongly oppose any measures that would essentially cannibalize Inflation Reduction Act conservation funding in order to pay for the Farm Bill conservation efforts,” Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) wrote in a letter.

The Inflation Reduction Act is the climate stimulus package that the Democrats passed along party lines last September. It contains $19 billion for helping agriculture adapt to the climate crisis.

If you ask me, Fetterman guy looks like a cannibal.

He really does.

I have zero clue why the Dems chose this lifelong slacker to steal an election in PA. His parents must have dirt on the people there. He’s half a carcass mentally I’ll at best. There wasn’t anyone better? Occam’s Razor shows us why he was their candidate.

Obama campaigned for him. So the fix had to be.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) wrote in a letter.

One question: Does Fetterman remove his dribble cup before he allegedly applies pen to paper?

Climate change can’t cannibalize funding for non-imaginary problems.

How about not funding agriculture at all? Farmers are some of the best educated (yes, Ag majors learn real science), best businessmen, most innovative and productive men in America. There is no way you can convince me how someone in sitting in DC or a state Capitol knows how to farm better than someone who actually does it for a living. The only things the Dept. Of Agriculture does is get in the way of the productive and subsidizes the unproductive.

Pennsylvania has thrice elected a moron in Bob Casey, Jr. So this time the deep state decided to go for an imbecile.

Mental midgets are much easier to control than people who even occasionally think for themselves . . . like Joe Manchin.

If Biden and Fetterman got together and collaborated on something, their intellectual processes combined wouldn't even add up to half a brain.

He’s obviously right! Solving a maybe problem 50 years from now is FAR more important that people eating today.

How can West Virginia elect Manchin next year? His party has destroyed their great resources, he’s made millions on Pharma, but they still elect him? Doesn’t make any sense.

One word: PORK.

He's Robert KKK Byrd, ver. 2.0.

He brings federal funds to a poor state.
