The 2013 Farm Bill needs to be reconciled between the Senate
version and the House version.
Let’s think about this.
The Farm Bill incentivizes farmers to be unproductive in order to drive
up food prices. This was instituted
during the New Deal in the 1930’s.
Thirty years later the Foods Stamps program was passed into
law as part of President Johnson’s Great Society agenda. Presumably this was to help lower income
people afford the food that the federal price supports had made so costly.
Did anyone in Washington, DC ever notice that the goal of
capitalist, free market system is to create innovative methods of production
and distribution so as to make so as to make goods more affordable and accessible
to the masses? Occam’s Razor
demands that farm price supports be lifted so that an abundance of affordable food
can be provided to a hungry world.
I wonder who’s paying for all this anyway?
As a perplexed Ricky Riccardo might lament, “Lucy, you have
some ‘splainen to do”.
Has anyone other than me ever noticed the ever declining
prices of flat screen TVs, computers, smart phones, tablets and such?
Perhaps it’s time we had a TV Bill, and a Computer Bill and
a Smart Phone Bill? Are you listening,
Washington?
