Subsidies to farmers, mostly large corporations, amount to about $20 billion per year. Guess what we spent on upper education. Half this amount. I guess keeping American farm corporations is more important than our children. Or, perhaps, our congressman don't care about what is good for America, all they care about is getting some pork belly for their district/state and getting re-elected.
Perhaps we should limit terms to eight years. Get in and do some good, or get out. Don't let them stay in long enough to buy their future satisfying special interest groups.
What can we do. Not much. The country is not run for us anymore. The only feeble thing we could do is to vote against the incumbents. All Praise to Jehovah Bush and His Noble Band.
