That $80 billion a year is money spent on food that otherwise wouldn't have been spent. It's money injected into the food business by the government. It's welfare for all involved.
My intent is NOT a debate of any kind. I just felt it important that the real reason for the dairy bill hold up be presented, or the entire discussion would be based on something not true.

No political debates allowed.
