Okay, I'm an SOB and totally baited/trolled my old frat brother.



Trent McCullough I wonder if that includes farm subsidies?

Trent McCullough, I grew up as a farmer on my family's small farm in TN.

Getting up early and in the cold, regardless of weather in deference to the creed of the USPS to feed and take care of animals. This is one of the things that helped put me through college

Things have changed quite a bit since then. I know you as great person so I'm going to take that your comment was meant to point out the absurdity of farm subsidies that benefit large land owners and corporations.

To take it in any other context would be disrespectful of you as the person I know.

Good chance that "small farm" could have gotten quite a bit of subsidies over the years, too. Lars39 Jun 2014 #2

I think I will print that out into stickers to put everywhere. It's important that this "welfare" spending is put into proper perspective.
