Every vote in Congress can be viewed as an opportunity to either increase liberty or increase government. Right now, the Senate appears poised to choose the latter as they prepare to vote on the 2012 Farm Bill.
The 1,000-page bill that Senators Debbie Stabenow and Pat Roberts are pushing through the Senate is chock full of massive spending, new entitlements, and new regulations. With corporate welfare and generous subsidies thrown in for good measure, the bill reflects everything wrong with out-of-control government. No wonder Congress is sporting a 17...












Why is that? Because most Americans aren't wise enough to understand that subsidizing farmers is not a good thing.
Why is that? Because the American Public Education system is run by liberal, anti-Christ narcissists who believe the government, with themselves in charge, can create a utopian humanistic society.
Another example: Minimum wage and the negative impact raising it has on the people that politicians say they want to help.
