Now that the president has used his veto pen, I hope he liked its feel and decides to keep wielding it.

The USDA budget is about 78% for food stamps and other similar social programs.

the farm bill before the Senate this week authorizes about $10 billion in new subsidies, price guarantees and disaster aid in the next decade, even as farmers report near-record profits.

The same Democrats who keep screaming about the budget deficit and how we need to raise taxes/undo the Bush tax cuts, are not afraid to spend even more tax money, are they?

Fiscal responsibility....wouldn't it be nice!

The Chinese insure revenue for their farmers too. Is that where we are heading? Actually, the Chinese may be insuring our farmers, because we sure and Hell don’t have the money. $9,000,000,000,000 in debt and they want to insure revenue.

Stupidity knows no limits in Washington, D.C.

Now isn’t this the lobby that required their politicians to send them cheap labor?

Wishful thinking. Jorge won’t use his pen any time soon.
