Ummmmm....H-E-L-L-O ????
But please...don't allow the facts to stop you're hate-fest.
Why Howdy back at atcha!
And I never left fact stop an uninformed counter-rant:
Yet under a federal agriculture program approved by Congress, his 18-acre suburban lot receives about $1,300 in annual "direct payments," because years ago the land was used to grow rice.
Matthews is not alone. Nationwide, the federal government has paid at least $1.3 billion in subsidies for rice and other crops since 2000 to individuals who do no farming at all, according to an analysis of government records by The Washington Post.
Farm subsidies are intended to alleviate farmer poverty, but the majority of subsidies go to commercial farms with average incomes of $200,000 and net worths of nearly $2 million.
Farm subsidies are intended to raise farmer incomes by remedying low crop prices. Instead, they promote overproduction and therefore lower prices further.
Farm subsidies are intended to help struggling family farmers. Instead, they harm them by excluding them from most subsidies, financing the consolidation of family farms, and raising land values to levels that prevent young people from entering farming.
Farm subsidies are intended to be consumer-friendly and taxpayer-friendly. Instead, they cost Americans billions each year in higher taxes and higher food costs.

One farm can decline subsidies provided to competing farms and stay in business?
I see we have another liberal who flunked ECON 101.
Maybe MO should keep her nose out of our personal affairs.
Or does that only apply when it's abortion and gay marriage?
Bachmann, another "smaller government" conservative REPUBLICAN who accepts Welfare checks for doing nothing while trying to cut funding for VETERANS.
Guess she flunked Smaller Government 101.
Bachmann should keep her nose out of a non-elected , non-politican advocating for breast -feeding(OH WHAT A HUGE ISSUE!:rol leyes
and try to put her money where her mouth is and do something about government handouts to rich farmers like herself.....

The thing I don't get the most is that there are a lot of intelligent Republican women out there that have held office and had long careers. But all we ever hear from are the crazies.
I don't think any party has all the answers so I am that American that actually enjoys real political debate. I actually want to hear all views. But the yahoos keep getting the microphones and cameras. And no matter what insanely illogical thing they say (promoting breastfeeding and fighting childhood obesity is an attempt to control your life? REALLY?) there will always be coverage. Ugh.

There are a lot of intelligent Republican women who currently hold office and are enjoying a long career. It would be nice if any one of them would speak out after they hear something this ridiculously stupid and proclaim it as ridiculously stupid. If these nutjobs like Bachmann and Palin got shot down by the women in their own party often enough, perhaps eventually their supporters would see them for the morons they are and start looking for actual smart women to represent them instead of idiotic big-mouth attention hos.

It will never happen. To speak out against either Moose or Squirrel would get them in hot water with the rapid believers and next thing you know they would be labeled as RINOs and become targets of the farsiders attempting to take over the GOP.

The hatefest from the left continues unabated. Sick, sick, sick.
