Just wait. Obama will cover your industry soon.

It would be nice if somebody would send me a check just because it's so HARD to be a mechanic. Grease Monkey is a way of life, you know.

Have you ever met a farmer?

dozens... possibly hundreds.

Are you familiar with all the ways that farmers are addicted to welfare?

Are you familiar with the fact that farmers provide the food you eat?

Or are glow plugs your main staple?

Are you aware that diesel mechanics fix the tractors that make this possible? And the trucks that deliver said food? I've fixed hundreds of them, myself.

Where's my check??

BTW, lots of diesels don't have glow plugs.

Enough said, Obama will send it to you, just wait.

But I wouldn't hold your breath...

That all you got, Nitro?

See, I tend to think that if you're in a business where you can't make money... suck it up and get a job.

We'll chat again a year from now..

For now, live in your shell.

My attention span is short... I may or may not be interested a year from now.

I'd really like to hear why you think farmers deserve welfare... more so than other folks who work for a living.

Hey nitromaxx98, what's the farmer's name that is outstanding in his field in the photo?

What is the field he is outstanding in?

looks like a wheat field south of Rush Center

Hey Bighead, I think the welfare the farmers get is supposed to go to you indirectly. You're getting your subsidy each time they bring in a truck or tractor. Or I guess your boss is anyways.

That's true enough, Ratzilla. I've been paid lots of money that came indirectly from Farm Welfare. Same would be true of employees at Walmart, or any other place where farmers spend money.

And like those Walmart employees (or just about any non-farmer in western Kansas), I ain't too proud to take that money.

But that doesn't mean that I think Farm Welfare makes for good policy.

Hey farmers- get a haircut and a real job.

Farm welfare is a world wide program. Some countries pay better than the U.S. and we complain that it is unfair trade practice. In order to eliminate it here and still have viable farms we must eliminate it world wide.

Always an excuse.

If that really was the issue, tariffs would take care of it.

Import all food. Export all jobs. That will fix it.

Subsidies and tariffs on food are almost always contentious issues among the G-20. Everybody is involved and finding a middle ground on these issues is a difficult chore. Always has been.
Please try to do some serious research on the economics of food as I am short on research time right now. I will gladly do some research in this area to back up my statements in a couple of weeks if you remind me.

LOL, city boy.What has the big city people ever done for me? Nothing but consume. Big City can fall off the face of the earth, for all I care. When Obama lets the terrorists in, I hope one of the first places they hit is YOUR neighborhood Pizza parlor, or grocery store. Hopefully you and your children/ homosexual lover are there.

Always an excuse. What it comes down to is that (some) farmers can't make money in their line of work... so they want hand-outs.

IMO, they oughtta figure out how to make money... or find another line of work. That's what the rest of us do.

Funny how most farmers vote Republican (who rant enthusiastically against socialism)... but those same farmers happily cash their government checks.

Dress it up any way you want. Lots of farmers (not all, though) are welfare queens.

Ain't never done nothin' for you except send MY tax money to support your otherwise nonviable rural economy.

Don't you have a goat to molest or something?

Don't fool yourself into thinking farm subsidies make rich men out of poor ones. It's the corporate farmers who cash in big. They can rake in hundreds of thousands in subsidies, while a small farmer struggling to pay off his debts may get little or nothing. As usual with subsidies largely pushed by republicans, the guy who has the most gets the most.

That's a great observation.

And like Republicans' favored models of government spending (including corporate welfare and military spending), those who will benefit LEAST will provide the sheer number of votes... prodded via patriotism and a false hope of benefiting (Joe the Plumber comes to mind).

I figured you would have them all wore out. Keep your fuckin tax money Most tax money gets spent in the city. So If the cities were gone, then MY tax dollar can stay here. Get all them Wichita Nigggers on welfare on boats back to Africa, you are most welcome to join them.

Perhaps we'll just elect them all to public office?

I'd be interested to see any verifiable info that you have to back up your point about government expenditures... 'cause I have my doubts if we're talking about a per capita basis.
