Which farmers are not at the government "trough"
Yawn! The diva launches another aria. Meanwhile, no one raped, robbed or beaten and no buildings burnt.

“While it cuts more to food assistance programs than some of us would like, it’s a good compromise that will protect needy families,” Reid said Thursday morning.
The bill finds $8.6 billion in food-stamp savings by requiring households to receive at least $20 per year in home heating assistance before they automatically qualify for food stamps, instead of the $1 threshold now in place in some states.
One of the conferees, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), said he wouldn’t support final passage of the bill because it didn’t include major reforms to farm subsidies that both the original Senate and House bills included.
“Does the new farm bill improve agriculture in America? I believe unfortunately the answer is no,” Roberts said. “We should not pass a farm bill with more government subsidies, more government regulations and more waste.”

Dire, I used to think you were better than that.

YOU have said precious little that merits any consideration whatever. Thus it is evident why you have run out of anything substantive to say.
This story is one of the top news stories of the week, not the trivial "kerfuffle" you stupidly make it to be. The long standing and increasingly volatile issue of public lands in the American West is bigger than you, in your cramped perspective, can understand.
And yet you seem to have no problem with 100,000+ Islamic "refugees" being brought to the U.S. and being put on the Taxpayers/ Government "teet"?
Please explain.

In the past, I commented upon the unreasonable policies of the government concerning the western lands. And, what justifies the federal government controlling up to 90 percent of western states.
