Ernest Istook preaches truth on the farm bill
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Hat tip to Red State for this great piece on Republicans who voted for the farm bill.
No one who voted for this should ever be called a conservative without an asterisk. A great big one.
Well put. As Istook points out, the farm bill will redistribute income from the middle class to wealthy farmers. Shame on my senators John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison for voting for this atrocious bill.
Another good quote from Istook’s piece:
Forget the Bridge to Nowhere. This $300-billion giveaway farm bill is a far worse example of special-interest excess. It panders to every special interest group, at the expense of common-sense and contrary to the claims by many Congressmen and Senators that they would control spending.
