I was very upset that we are continuing to pay subsidies to people who make $1.5 million. There&rsquo;s a lot that&rsquo;s wrong with the current farm bill. I voted against it. I was one of only three members of the agriculture committee to vote against it. So I don&rsquo;t think it was a good bill for the United States or for the average citizen. It&rsquo;s a good bill for a lot of special interests groups but not good for this country.</p> http://www.askyourlawmaker.org/answers/%2526lt%3Bp%2526gt%3Bmr.-meyer%2C-i-voted-against-farm-bill-because-i-could-not-see-any-rationale-farm-bil Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:58:25 -0500 amukherjee 1540 at http://www.askyourlawmaker.org
