The Farm Bill is mostly corporate welfare for large agri-businesses. The PR have been well facilitated by the media. The echo chamber repeats the fear of milk prices doubling, as if that we’re all we live on. The news reporting is incredibly shallow. Additionally, small farmers are interviewed on the impact of the lapse of subsidies, as if they were a significant part of the farming economy. The masters of media like to promote this dream of little people, but for years farming and the rest of the economy has been dominated by large corporations. Then, subsidies, most of the Defense budget and a lot of federal spending are corporate welfare. The Tea Party and the rest of “conservative” politics must be fuming!
