Good, sent this redneck back to Texas with his tail between his legs. He had no oversight for 6 years, not is about time. Good job (finally) by the House, now if the Senate can only be as intelligent.

I agree with Bush, agricultural subsidies show no fiscal discipline. Why do U.S. farmers need to be on welfare? The once many proud farmers have been reduced to taking welfare from their government.

It is, however, revealing that Bush talks about food prices and revenue, which have nothing to do with this issue. The only financial metric relevant to this issue is farmer's profit, which is an entirely different matter. The fact that he did not talk about profit signifies his financial ineptitude. I assume this article quoted him correctly and did not leave out the word profit.

On the other hand, giving hundreds of billions of dollars to mercenaries to kill muslims is also financially irresponsible and Bush should be taken to task on that irresponsibility too. So far, congress shows absolutely no backbone, they are lap dogs through and through.

No welfare for Ag Corperations or islamist tics.May 22nd, 2008 - 02:00:03

'Mercenaries'? Our armed forces?

Why not just isolate them? Deport the ones here and pull out all of our mercenaries out of the middle east and let them get on with doing what they do best: Kill each other.

'and let them get on with doing what they do best: Kill each other.'

Yup, they are on the U.S. government welfare feeding tube and are showing the symptoms: They have lost the capacity to fix their own problems. Best to withdraw the welfare feeding tube and make them deal with their own problems. Nothing like the threat of starvation and killing to motivate people to solve their problems.

So when they behave like savages it is the USA's fault as well.

'They have lost the capacity to fix their own problems.'

That famous capacity that they had before...

'Best to withdraw the welfare feeding tube and make them deal with their own problems.'

Fine, we can begin the divorce by shipping the islamists who abuse the freedoms of the west to legitimize the backwardness that they fled, back to the societies that they escaped from so that they can restore the capacity to fix their own problems. I look forward to seeing the grainy, shaky cell phone video of you being publicly lunched for spending too much time with the kuffar.

Yes, they fixed THEIR own problems in THEIR own way. It worked. They had no terrorists in Iraq, and if anyone tried to split it up (an insurrection) they were killed, just like the U.S. is doing now except the hard work was done by Iraqis. And, if Iraqis did not like it then they needed to do something about it. Destroying their infrastructure, government and society and then putting them on welfare is a very psychologically immature thing for the U.S. to have done.

Most bills have too many riders on them, so if they are vetoed, the good part is down the drain and vice versa.

Bush is an idiot on a lot of things, but the Man is right on this 1.

The bill is nothing more than welfare checks for rich farmers and companies at the expense of the common man.


This is Buying Votes--Look at the people pushing this and were they represent---taking money from your state and sending it to theirs.
