| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is outrageous. Our administration worked hard in order to protect those who needed it most, and now this coalition will undo all this and make the vulnerable even poorer. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker Republican Party can't always support low income. If some farm is not low income government will support this familiy to change profession in something else. Every farm wich will grow crops wich are based on market will be subside. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, All the reforms we made helped low-income families. In addition, I am shocked that your party has suggested that traditional low-income farming families should change their professions, simply because your party is determined to make its ideological stamp on the country. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Subsidies in general are distortions upon the free-market, though we do agree in sympathy that certain farmers do not have the fortunes of fruitfulness. To say it is easy to change crops, as much as one changes brands of paper towels show's that the submitting party has not worked with very many farms. I yield. |
