USA Today has a good article on the farm bill currently making its way through Congress. Remember, whenever you hear about the farm bill it's you who's getting the shaft.
Rep. Marion Berry, D-Ark., says the system works well. He and his family's farming interests received almost $2.4 million in federal payments from 1995-2005, records show. His net worth in 2005 was $1.7 million to $6.6 million, according to his financial disclosure statement. "He has firsthand experience of how this really benefits farmers," said his spokeswoman, Angela Guyadeen.
All of you struggling to make ends meet in a middle class existence, take heart in the fact that you're supporting a multimillionaire farmer.
