*$5 million to subsidize farmers' markets and roadside produce stands in 31 states.

Why aren't the various states doing this? Isn't it their responsibility?

Nobody should be subsidizing this one!! Farmers' Markets are the ultimate in free trade. The farmer sells directly to the consumer, no middlemen, no transportation, no costs for stores or employees. And, most people like buying producer, knowing the money goes directly to them. This is nuts.

OK, perhaps I am being naive and stupid, BUT, what if an effort were made to pass a LAW that Congresscritters can only introduce one exclusive topic/law at a time with no piggy-backing of extras/make-the-state-congresscritter-look-good appropriations?

Has this ever been tried?
