Terra Smith from the American Farm Bureau and Sallie James from the Cato Institute joined us for our Conference Call Battle Royale about the farm bill.
My standing ovation of the day goes to our President for vetoing the farm bill:
"For a year and a half, I have consistently asked that the Congress pass a good farm bill that I can sign. Regrettably, the Congress has failed to do so...It is inconsistent with our objectives in international trade negotiations, which include securing greater market access for American farmers and ranchers. It would needlessly expand the size and scope of government. Americans sent us to Washington to achieve results and be good stewards of their hard-earned taxpayer dollars. This bill violates that fundamental commitment" ...
Now build us a fence and you'll be back on my good side.
