Southeast Wyoming

PeteMN - 9/9/2013 17:50 What about flood insurance, isn't that subsidized by the Feds?


What about almost every aspect of our lives - transportation and industries?

Ag has a higher profile; and yes, there is a lot of room for improvement in the programs to take out the abuse.  I favor a more meaningful and strict way of "means testing" being applied to the payment limitations.  If you prefer that it not be like welfare, then don't take the dollars.

We have had enough crop failure in this area in the last 25 years most of us would not be affected by a much lower threshold.  Those that are affected condemn the programs but apparently still take the money.

What comes out of the lips is often not connected with what goes into the back pocket.  lol
