(47,992 posts)about a decade in Kansas, where we are recently now "represented" by Kevin Yoder, R, Ks, in one of the most Democratic districts in the state, and ruled by Governor SUBSIDY-Sam Brownback who got his start in politics with about a decade of running the state department of agriculture (before going off to D.C. as a senator, God's Senator, you may recall from the Rolling Stone, living at least part of that time in the religious commune house on C Street, before he ran in the Presidential primaries in 2004), which state Dept of Ag it would be not be surprising if they assisted folks in applying for their ag-subsidies, all in the home-state of Bob Dole, one of Monsanto's most powerful and long-standing allies in his time. Even some moderate conservatives say those decades of Ag Subsidies are an economic travesty that helped end family farming.
