Ahh, the fresh smell of morning dew on a farm bill
Obama had to go and support the farm bill. Why, Obama, why? Here’s a great explanation of what the farm bill does from the Baltimore Sun:
“First American taxpayers funnel billions to agri-business so it can sell at anticompetitive prices; then taxpayers have to pay billions more so people can afford to eat.”
This is the only thing the President and I agree on. He tried to veto it, but to no avail. After reading more about it the bill though, it does provide “$209 billion for nutrition programs like food stamps,” so I guess it’s not all bad.
