FARM BILL
The farm bill has been a dangerous issue of having to kneel down to the demands of Democrats because they have pandered to the voter by giving them free items such as SNAP/Welfare benefits. Part of these issues lie in the fact that while Congressman Conaway had the best of intentions on passing some really great reforms, at the end of the day he caved to their demands and now we are stuck with a bill that has over $750 billion dollars in welfare (over 75% of the bill) with the means tested income requirement removed. This should be a huge scare to the taxpayer.
THE CURRENTLY PASSED FARM BILL IS A LARGER BAILOUT THAN THE AUTO BAILOUT AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT.
We need to get back to singe issue legislative issues and let the farm bill be the farm bill only. If there is a need for welfare it should be addressed on its own proposed legislative issue.
