Congress enacts $290B farm bill over Bush veto
Congress enacted a massive farm bill Thursday with new and bigger subsidies for farmers, plus more food stamps for the poor...
Bush claimed the legislation was too expensive and too generous with subsidies for farmers who are enjoying record high prices and incomes. He had opposed the legislation from the start, threatening his first veto last July.
Nearly every farmer that I know is RICH! I agree that welfare for rich people should be abolished completely! But the Chimp is o.k. with subsidizing mass murder and genocide, private para-military forces and more profits for his oil buddies.
"It seems that the congressional debate on the pork-laden farm bill is coming to an inglorious conclusion," White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said.
Yeah, and his boss will go down in history as the greatest American President of all time, too. Right! Boot licker.
