When the Republicans got control of Congress in January of 1995 they took care of friends. Cotton Subsidies by year, Texas (millions of dollars) 1995-----11 1996----192 1997----177 1998----335 1999----511 2000----488 2001----708 2002----583 2003----807 2004----475 2005--1,036 That's $5 billion just for a cotton teat suck in Texas! Do you know that most of the cotton grown in the USA is exported. Just look at the label on your clothes for that information. Guess what country is the number one importer of US cotton? You got it. China. US taxpayers are subsidizing t-shirt manufacturing in China. Is that patriotic? Tom Delay's district got a lion's share of the handouts. Data from www.ewg.org

I remember when George W. Bush announced that he was going to mandate the use of 4 billion gallons of ethanol each year in a State of the Union address. All the Congressional Republicans jumped up applauding like the fawners at Stalin's speeches used to. What a bunch of Marxists these Republicans have become, no?

"CODEPINK is a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end U.S. funded wars and occupations, to challenge militarism globally, and to redirect our resources into health care, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities." Sounds like the Republican party except for the war part. health care = Medicare Precription. education = No Child Left Behind. green jobs = $6 billion in ethanol welfare every single year. life-affirming activities - social engineering in Iraq or large corporate bailouts??

I've posed this question many times. Are not the Republican sponsored ethanol mandates just a Marxist redistribution of wealth from America's east and west coasts to America's heartland?
