Wow, looks like we are still BAILING out the VICTIMS 25 years later. I wonder if conservatives here wish the government would treat the unemployed with this kind of conservatism? I could have collected a large unemployment check every month for five years and when my job skills had deteriorated, I could be declared a 'victim' and President Ronald Reagan would mandate an even bigger check, a so-called 'bailout' from the federal government, perhaps several hundred grand. And now, in the year 2012, with farm subsidy handouts and ethanol mandates peaked at $35 billion a year, are we any closer to a free market in agriculture?
