what i wouldn't give for a cogent discussion of the farm bill

We know from Bill Moyers, if we didn't already know, that it is hallucinogenically bad, riddled with give aways to those who don't need them, a despicable mess that legislators pass because lobbyists pay them entirely too well, so well they can override * without batting an eye.

You should stop and think about that for a moment. It's living hell getting the votes to override vetoes on things like saving lives in Iraq, never happens, but there will be no resistance to the override here. Not a bit.

Seems to me this is something a group of decent people could take on and fix.
