Why Are Republicans Supporting the Farm Bill?
This is why we need to stay vigilant...and trust no one.....
The House’s version of the Farm Bill, H.R. 6083, authorizes $957 billion in spending over the next ten years. Like the Senate version, the House bill continues a program that protects sugar producers from foreign competition and creates a new subsidized insurance program for cotton. If this bill passes in the GOP-controlled House, Republicans will, once again, have broken their promises to promote limited government, transparency, free market principles, and balanced budgeting. They will have caved, once again, to special interests and to the culture of corporate welfare.
