Farm Bill:
$288 BILLION
There was a pretty decent summary of how the farm bill affects everybody on LATimes.com.
The usual Republican schtick from the You Tube Debates.
And here is a Robert Reich commentary I heard on Marketplace:
Meanwhile, the average American tariff on agricultural imports is 18 percent — much higher than the 5 percent average tariff on other imports. So not only do the world’s poor suffer, but Americans get hit with a double-whammy. We’re subsidizing U.S. agribusinesses with our tax dollars, while paying much more for our food than we’d pay if we didn’t also protect agribusinesses.
And a nice blog article frome EdibleSacramento.
