In April I pointed to an article about the Farm Bill. Yesterday the House Passes "Carbon Copy" Farm Bill.
"What Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) refers to as 'a landmark achievement' is a carbon copy of the 2002 DeLay-Combest corporate farm bill that suckered taxpayers to the tune of tens of billions of dollars a year. Multi-millionaire 'farmers' living in the heart of San Francisco, New York City, and Washington, D.C. will continue to receive government handouts and insurance companies will continue to get hundreds of millions of dollars in profits directly from Uncle Sam courtesy of this legislation. It’s a shame that the new Congress sent to reform Washington couldn’t even pass legislation to cut off the subsidy spigot for millionaires."
Sad.
