100% welfare and unconstitutional. The disgusting Reps in Congress will likely keep the subsidies. I just wish Bush would have completely eliminated them with this budget. Phasing them out is a joke and will NOT work. After a few years, the payments will be increased by a new Congress. All of Bush's "decreases in the budget increases" will only amount to a drop in the bucket. The MSM and the demoRats will always scream. It is so frustrating to think the spineless Reps don't have the will to do what the Constitution requires. ALL subsidies should be COMPLETELY eliminated this year. Any Federal worker handling the subsides should be immediately terminated. We need to REDUCE spending and the number of govenment employees. I don't think Bush truly understands just how smothering are the taxes we pay. I think he is afraid to be bolder. He is probably holding back because he realizes the little girlie men members of his party are too damn chicken to do the right thing. God, I get frustrated with how utterly spineless is the Republican leadership. They should all be ashamed. We need a Grover Cleveland to cut the Budget!
Consider who many of those corporate farmers are. Quite a number are addressed as "Congressman" or "Senator," and others are major contributors to the Republican Party. It's pretty hard to find political courage when the people who write the laws benefit directly from them.
