Watch closely, as Senator Ben sASSe spins his Midwest bullsh*t to make certain that the farmers’ jaw lock on the federal tit remains firmly in place.
1.3 TRILLION dollar Omnibus? NO WAY, JOSE!
1 TRILLION dollar Farmers’ welfare - HELL, YEAH!
And, of course, the “senior” senator from Nebraska - Deb Fischer - will lead the way to secure yet another butt rape of the American non-farm worker.
Both of these two political bullsh*t artists work to ensure that their leveraged-up-the-wazoo AG constituents continue to have their land-greedy asses subsidized and protected from market price fluctuations, and to, at diverse times, pay them to NOT grow crops!
All these “gifts” will of course come from the wallets of the “other” American taxpayers - those of us less fortunate suckers whose jobs don’t rate to partake of FDR’s welfare ponzi scheme.
Nailbiter, Congress has SNAP shoved into the farm bill so the country can feel good about passing a huge farm bill...or feel really angry because they believe the farmers are getting a trillion dollars. Just to recap: 80% goes to SNAP!!!!
Next we can take a look at the subsidies that get paid out, of which a huge % goes to people who live inside the beltway.
