The Farm Bill, every politician will say is to help the hard working American family farms, but actually just funnels billions into the agri-corps that keep them in power.
Are there any who don’t support it? And if you find someone who doesn’t, does that outweigh the things they disagree with you on? Representative democracy doesn’t have the granularity to focus on anything other than the most important issues.
Reform-minded legislators have previously floated the idea of rewriting the Farm Bill to favor smaller family operations instead of agri-conglomerates like Con-Agra – to near-universal dissent from farmers. No matter the reality of the situation, conservative media has them convinced that they’re just one good season away from riches, and they don’t want to lose their subsidies when that happens.
