  • Question:

    Can you explain the reasoning for the latest farm bill? It seems like 1.5 Million is too much income to receive subsidies. Is this just politics as usual or is there a solid reason that can't be explained in a sound bite? Is so, point me to a web page.

    Actually 1.5 million is too much to be receiving farm subsidies.  The difference is it was 2.5 million and now it’s down to 1.5 million.  And that’s for a couple but $750,000 per individual.  I would liked to have seen a huge drop below that but what you find out around here is if you can get big incremental moves like a third lower than that’s heading the right direction and you better grab a one third incremental move in the right direction and keep pushing to get better.

    That's a great question. I don't know the answer but I'd like to find out myself. That's a great question. The thing is he may have just been spewing poison and bitterness but it would be interesting to know what he had to say. If he had any remorse for all the people that had been killed and raped and maimed and tortured on his watch. But that would be a good question and I'll try to find that out. That's a good question.
