Farm Subsidy Abuses

| | Comments (0)

This great piece of pork reporting from Deroy Murdock at National Review has me fuming.  The bottom line, you ask yourself?  A national average of $322 per family of our tax dollars go to farm subsidies.  And these millionaires and dead people cash the checks and keep the money.

Ask anyone who knows me:  I am not a class envy, get-the-rich type of person.  I would like very much to be rich someday.  However, with all this "help" the federal government gives us in the money management department (NOT!), it would appear that we might never get there.

And once again, I ask the question:  if corruption, graft, fraud, and downright laziness and incompetence are the hallmarks of yet another government program, why on earth would I want these same people at the USDuh to electronically monitor my livestock?  And for Health and Human Services to provide and pay for my "healthcare" and that of my children?

No thank you.

It looks like yet one more use for a shovle.

Thanks for the mention. It looks like you have figured out the instructions. You are are making progress. It should get easier from here. And all you like is finishing. Tell Denise I'm ready for the 1 pound of butter when she gets it made. I have found a way to agitate the cream. I'll just care it around in my dump truck all day

We shopped the removal around quite a bit to find a lower price, and part of the deal we got with the company that did finally take it down involved them removing all the wood. They were able to sell it somewhere to offset their removal costs. We kept some of the smaller branches to use as firewood this winter. Mike is planning to seed the spot where the stump was removed soon.
