The Party of Jefferson? Its not my habit, but I found myself a half-hour ago listening to NPRs evening news program. The story concerned the US Governments repeated losses in the WTO of cases over illegal American cotton subsidies. Rather than desist in subsidizing American cotton growers, as ordered, the US Government instead has been paying Brazilian cotton growers $147,000,000/year for the last several years. You heard that right: in order to make up for violating its treaty obligations by taxing you to subsidize American cotton growers, the US Government is taxing you to give money to Brazilian cotton growers. NPRs reporter-ette concludes that Congress needs to hurry and pass another farm bill to keep both prongs of this racket going. Thus did Lyndon Johnsons unconstitutional radio program inform me of the latest news concerning Bill Clintons updating of Franklin Roosevelts unconstitutional agriculture program. There you go, President Obama: top that.
