1 out 0f 3 people in California collect Welfare, 40% live below the poverty line, and there are 40 Million Plus on food Stamps.

NO we DON’T NEED the Farm bill or Food Stamps. they can WORK!

Farmers get subsidized. You know farmers that employ illegals, pay slave wages and claim Americans are lazy and don't want to work. Those guys.

Yet manufacturers get nothing. When a factory gets off shored and whole communities get devastated and NOBODY gives a sh!t.

Sorry, but whatever farmers need, they should get.

All winter long, the only fruit available is from south America. And IT STINKS.

Every fruit, every vegetable that comes from a foreign country sucks. I don’t know what or how our farmers do it, but their products are so superior that I would be willing to pay more, subsidize, hell, baby sit their kids.

We are blessed with them.

Honduras cantaloupes are particularly loathsome.

From last month.

The Farm Bill Should Benefit Consumers and Taxpayers, Not Just Agribusiness
