Money for farmers is just another industrial subsidy. Bombardier, softwood lumber, blah-blah, you know the list. It's all about corporate welfare. As long as our trading partners subsidize the hell out of their ag sectors we will too. Free trade is expensive. There’s no point in singling out the farmers.

Only someone like you can call helping families with young kids 'welfare'. Of course you can't concern yourself with such silly things as children. You are too busy spewing hate all day it seems... Do you ever have anything positive to say? ;) Nice one Robby M.. Only someone like you can call helping families with young kids ‘welfare’.
