Sometimes it is huge amounts of money. As I said, I have farmer relatives who take in over $80K in subsidies each year in addition to their farm profits.

Unfortunately, I think farm and crop subsidies are here to stay and you and I will keep paying for them.
Just seems strange that you would come on here and publicly call out a party for not TALKING ABOUT an issue and not criticize or even mention a party who had the opportunity but DID NOTHING about same issue.

Oh well....that is what drives me nuts with politics...party first before anything.
