What the U.S. government giveth, it taketh away.

U.S. Government creates dams and water projects in otherwise arid locations.

People move there and create lots of farms and ranches dependent on the dams and water projects.

U.S. Government changes its priorities and diverts water to protect fish.

Land returns to normal: arid desert.

If the people of Eastern Oregon and Washington had spent their own money to build their own water projects then they could decide how to run them.

They chose to depend on welfare projects donated by the U.S. Government.

You’re blaming this on the FARMERS???
