Dan Imhoff on the Nightmarish Farm Bill 13 April 2008

Op-Ed piece in the L.A. Times that clearly discusses the horrific idea that is the 2008 Farm Bill subsidy package. Written by Dan Imhoff, a hero in the sustainable-living community, as well as my local community, and someone I feel lucky to know.

The great news is that both Dems and Repubs are equally guilty of screwing us over with these massive subsidies. What? Ralph Nader said what, again? And what? You clapped your hands over your ears again?

PLEASE, SPEND THREE MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE READING THIS.

What else do you have to do? Why read it? Because, as Dan puts it, “There is still time to let everyone in Congress know that they should vote on the farm bill as if the nation’s very health, future and security is at stake. Because it is. And we deserve better.”
