I'm upset at him too. The the farm bill is a damn joke. Paying people NOT to raise crops is nonsense.

I don't like it either, but I know why it happened: There are only four or five states where the Senate seat is realistically in play this year. Three of those states are Iowa, South Dakota and Minnesota. That's all you really need to know about why this bill was passed and signed into law. Everything else is window dressing.

Wait a minute! I heard on Fox News that the Republican leadership's concern was that the farm bill would lead to over-production. Now, which is it?

Maybe they can get some libertarian Sheriff and grow poppies and pot instead. We are letting the Afghans do it these days for geopolitical purposes, why can't we do the same??? Better export it than import it after all.

The Democrats hurt you, the Republicans hurt you a little less. There's the difference. And that's not much.

I'm not raising crops, either. Are you? Then where is OUR check?
