Good point on always having a safe milk source.
In the 40s and early 50s the subsidy helped the family farmer with milk
prices as, if i remember right, they were only getting 9-11 cents/GALLON.
It helped some of the hardest working people we had, working 14 hours/ day 365/a year round to stay afloat.

Now with a lot of big combines doing most of the farming I'm not crazy about subsidizing to protect them except maybe
your point.

I hear you. One of the pains of self-employment.

Try and get under a long-term agreement now. It's only going to get worse from here.

House Passes Health Care Bill On Close Vote - Health News Story - WCVB Boston

LET'S see where we go from here.....

As a self employed individual my gut feeling is we are sooooooooo %$%$%$%$ED now.

$16k a year and 5 years jail time in 2016 if you don't pay it......GTFO of here.

imo pelosi is even more of a scumbag than I thought she was before.

I'm sure your gut is right.

A 220-215 vote doesn't sit well with me, especially on a bill that will bring massive changes to the way health care is run in this country.

I think Pelosi lives in a constant state of delusion.
