Well I can see settling up the treaties with the Indians, but shouldn’t the black farmers be getting an acre of land and a mule?

Your take?
Just think of the 30% Lawyer's cut.
To: Dallas59
>> Democrats and Republicans squabbled over how to pay for it.
My guess they agreed to use tax dollars.

Please tell me why ANY Republican is voting ‘yes’ on ANY bill while Senator Kirk remains unseated? Of the three Senators who were to be seated immediately following the election (Manchin, Coons, and Kirk), both Democrats have been sworn in and are now voting while the one Republican watches from the sidelines while a Democrat casts votes on his behalf. Why in the hell are Republicans letting them get away with this? They’ve got 41 votes right now. Shut it down until Kirk is seated and Burris is removed.

how many black and or farmers could there have been? They don't have to be farmers to collect.
This is actually a back-door reparations scam.
Most blacks collecting from this second round of payments are city and town dwellers whose closest encounter with a farm was a bucket of KFC chicken.
All they have to do to collect is say they would have liked to be farmers but never pursued it because they knew they would be discriminated against on the basis of their skin color.

this reminds me of what that negro congress woman was doing with federal funds for education....steering them to her relatives and friends..... !! discrimination by any other color....
I know why the Indians got together in this with the Negroes... to get money from the feds! The Indians have been shafted enough by Americans, both negroes and whites.... they finally figured how how politics is played...

To: marstegreg
"Im a little ignorant on this subject, how many black and or farmers could there have been?"There are numbers that prove they are claiming way more black farmers than the department of agriculture has EVER had on record as existing. Make no mistake ... this is all about reparations that could not pass any other way.

Why settle? Let them go to court, and then try and collect.

I say lets pass reparations. Give every poor minority a million dollars. It ends the discussion forever, and is a drop in the bucket compared to the deficit anyway.
Within 6 months, every dollar given in reparations will be spent in the economy. The recipients will be poor again, but at least it will give a temporary boost to the economy.
As Neal Boortz sais, the rich are rich because they do things that make them rich, and vice versa.
