EWG research in 2020 showed 33 members of Congress, including Grassley, and their immediate family members collected a total of nearly $16 million in federal farm subsidies between 1995 and 2020.
A few years back I read that a huge percentage (close to 30%) of the subsidy money stays inside the beltway, even though they record it as going to IA or whatever state the congressman/senator is from.
And let's not fall for the Farm Bill helping farmers when 80% goes to SNAP of which 30% of that goes to the purchase of sugary drinks and non-farm items. Then if you have 4.5% of the Farm Bill budget going to commodities programs and 30% of that 4.5% going to congress, well, sigh.
