1. K&R!!!

This should be running on the MSM's primetime news shows, but they're too damned chicken.

3. What is even more outrageous is the fact that Batshit crazy doesn't even farm

her name is on the title of the farm property, but she doesn't live on the farm nor does she work the farm. It reminds me of Michigan congress critter in Michigan who bought a farm in my county, then used it for R sex parties during the summer, he leased the farm land out to area farmers while collecting farm subsidies for owning the farm. His name was Young and he was in congress up until the late 80's, I think he was first elected in the early 60's.

2. Assholes!

You're right: I don't know which one is worse, the fucking Republican Welfare Queens or the more familiar kind. Hard to choose. I guess it's a jump ball.

Great post, though. Amazing video.

4. More welfare for the wealthy.

Shout it from the mountaintops!

5. Welfare is okay for the rich, didn't you know?

We're a corporate welfare state, but damned those peasants expecting handouts for food stamps to feed their families.

6. A few years ago, the Environmental Working Group had a website that listed farm program recipients.

You could click the state you want data from and the county from that state and it will list everyone or all farm corporations that had received federal farm program payments from the past five years and the amount.

I know a lot of farmers. Many of them will thump their chests and tell you how they don't need no stinkin' gubmint and they live according to the markets. Most of these same people were among the largest recipients of farm program payments in their respective counties.
