Remember the so-called "Freedom to Farm" Act passed by the Republican Congress. We all knew they were lying when they said it was the end to subsidies. Now we have proof they were lying. What a bunch of phony hypocrites!

"The farm bill was criticized on Thursday in editorials published in three major newspapers -- the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal. All three newspapers said the legislation marked an about-face from a 1996 law that attempted to deregulate farming and phase out federal subsidies.

"The bulk of this bill's new flood of subsidies will go to a select group of wealthy wheat, rice, corn, cotton and soybean growers in states like South Dakota, Iowa and Missouri," the Journal said."
