Obama and Hillary favor the farm bill that takes billions from taxpayers and gives it to rich farmers. No more politics as usual?
McCain opposes the farm bill because it is “welfare for the rich.” According to a spokesman “he is concerned the bill contains too much corporate pork and not enough to incentivize the free market to lower food prices,”
I’m with McCain on this one.
US agricultural policy is one of the few causes of world poverty that is in our control. This bill will cause suffering in the third world. Anyone who was really concerned about making the world a better place would oppose the farm bill. And on the other end of the spectrum anyone who thinks that capitalism is a better system than statism would oppose this bill.
