Congress has approved, apparently by veto-proof margins, yet another farm bill that yet again benefits rich farmers at the expense of all taxpayers. This while the ethanol mandate mania continues to artificially inflate the price of corn (and, thanks to substitution effects, other crops as well).
Will the chief executive, widely thought to be an illiterate moron, be so easily manipulated by the corn lobby?
Oh, sorry, wrong "chief executive widely thought to an illiterate moron" —
Of course, Robert Graves' Claudius was not an illiterate moron, so perhaps the analogy isn't all that appropriate after all. Still, Hail Bush! for his intended veto of this corrupt, rent-seeking farm bill.
