What if farm subsidies for corporate farms were frozen?

[Peacetrain]

Just asking?

A little something to chew on.. Bachmann got 250 thousand in farm subsidies

1. Too many living cows = more methane = climate catastrophe

is the logic I would predict... :)

edit to add: Fascist push towards arugula based economy

[Peacetrain]

2. There you go

that was pretty good. ;)

6. Arugula beats the hell out of a war-profits economy to enrich republicon chickenhawks

Although the clucksters would deny this reality...

3. That would be fine, as long as the money was redirected to other spending

4. Guys, apparently I am one of the few, who does not have a clue what the cuts will be

Money that went to Bachmann and Grassley etc.. going back to pay down the deficit.. gotta say.. I am on board with that

5. That's what should happen, but Big Ag wouldn't stand for it.

7. I hear you.. as a fellow farm stater.. Big Ag, Corporate Meat Processors

the list is endless. But nothing sours me more than the corporate farms and feed lots, walking off with huge subsidies.

8. I think this is part of what they will try for but even blue dogs will put up a stink.

Lincoln for one.

[Peacetrain]

9. Some programs being frozen.. I have no problem with..

Oh and they would put up a big stink. Grassley walks off with a ton of Subsidy money through the family connections.

10. The so called "deficit cutters" are liars.

11. The corporate agribusinesses would exercise their "free speech"

They would flood the airwaves, complaining that Obama is destroying the family farms. And, the ill-informed majority of citizens in this country would eat it right up.

12. I think Bachmann's farm is a family farm not a corporate farm. I agree

that corporate subsidies should be frozen. But if they are we had better start growing our own food. They will just quit.
