That is funny. Thanks.
Too funny!
Surplus hogs can be used in the manufacture of ammunition to be employed in the Last Jihad.
Yep, free is usually not. My state of Wyoming is concerned becasue it costs more to store the free food for free school lunches than the food would cost to buy as needed.
All the "not raising hogs" jobs are going overseas.
Correct. The politcal class has run amuck. At this point in California's history the Republican Party is sponsoring the pork. Next election cycle it may be the Democrats but regardless of the sponsor, their blunt instrument is always the mob.
I may be wrong but I don't think Hog growers get paid for not raising hogs. I think that it is the misconceptions about the farm bill which make people hate it.
Ping.
And remember: Bulls make money, Bears make money, but Hogs get slaughtered.

DEAR SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE,
MY FRIENDS DARRYL AND JANICE OVER BY BIG TIMBER, MONTANA RECENTLY RECEIVED A CHECK FOR $3,980 FROM THE GOVERNMENT FOR NOT RAISING HOGS. SO, I WOULD LIKE TO GO INTO THE NOT RAISING HOGS BUSINESS MYSELF VERY SOON. . . .
You need to find out why Montanans get paid $3,980 to not raise hogs while the Iowans only get $1000! This is outrageous!
Kudos sir.
When I was a young man I tried not raising cain. But I failed.
Perhaps your wittiest yet...
Funny stuff
(In Oregon they should pay Loggers for not cutting trees anymore, in Alaska, Florida and California for not drilling for Oil, the whole Country should get paid for not building Refineries or Nuclear Reactors, Ted Kennedy should get paid for not building wind generators and Texans should be paid for no longer being its own Country)
TT
You sufficiently tickled my funny bone with that one.
It reminds me of the old definitions of different political movements using the cow. Here it is:
