Our friend Bryan Riley at the National Taxpayers Union, has exposed a multi-billion-dollar give-away to the farm states, and it makes the Republicans look like fiscal frauds. Some of the programs will double over the next decade. Georgia peanut farmers will see almost triple their normal federal handouts.
Republicans used to tout “freedom to farm.” Now we have “Freedom to Farm Taxpayers.”
This is no emergency bailout. Farm income has been surging.
