Message | We seem to be at a standstill regarding this farming subsidy. I may support only becuase your proposal allows for private sector, which is better then the current law which relies on government subsidises. I believe farm size should be unregulated for any private farm to succeed. |

Random quote: "The European Union and environmental advocacy groups use global warming hysteria to advance their own special agendas. The European Union recognizes any significant reduction in CO2 emissions by the United States will significantly reduce its economic output, thereby bringing it closer to the inferior output of European nations. Environmental advocacy groups work to stifle economic and industrial progress wherever they find it to inhibit the successful advancement of peoples in developing nations, inevitably making mankind a second class citizen of planet Earth." - Dr. Jay Lehr |
