Yesterday, the USDA spent 1.2 Billion dollars to buy surplus food. Apparently the Free Market wasn't doing a satisfactory job, so the Party of Fiscal Conservatism and Personal Responsibility decided to lean on taxpayers. Go figure. That, like, never happens (/sarcasm). Come September 4th, producers of wheat, soybean, dairy, hog, corn, cotton and sorghum may beg Small Guv'ment for handouts, West Korea's Department of Agriculture said. So much for pulling themselves up the bootstraps. But according to Jim Mulhern, President and CEO of the National Milk Producer's Federation, this bailout is only compensating for a fraction of the financial damage, accounting for a mere 10% of dairy farmers' losses. The news gets even worse, though. Thanks to his tax "plan", Fiscal Conservatism is resulting in record deficits, Beloved Leader on course for approaching Obama's deficit record in a single term, rather than two. And that is despite inheriting a healthy economy and strong stock market. He is also on course to becoming the second biggest debt contributer in just a single a term, almost surpassing Obama in 4 years rather than 8. So while the Corporate Welfare Queens are high-fiving each other as the Tax Cuts for the Rich fatten their offshore bank accounts, just remember: Fiscal Conservatism is fraud, just a pie-in-the-sky pipe dream of conmen. |
It is obvious that what he is doing is not sustainable. What exactly is the government going to do with all the food its buying? Give it to the poor? I mean we already have food stamps so check this out:
If the farmers are producing more food than can be bought, why is the government giving them money to produce more? I mean, is the singular purpose just to give them more money? Why can't they just produce according to demand like the rest of commercial business.
Imagine if Ford started making more cars than they could sell so they went to the government to buy the rest of their vehicles? Its insanity. Shouldn't they just make less cars?
