I still say send the farmers a bill. We need the money. If they don’t pay it we should put a lein on their property.

46 cents of every dollar spent by the federal Gov’t is borrowed.
We cannot continue to spend by financing it on a credit card.
Heidi will have a rough go at it, trying to get the bacon to be sent to ND. Peterson from MN will, too.

The Democrat and Republican stepford parties march on. The special interests tell Pelosi, Boehner, Reid and McConnell what to do when and for how long. Those 4 will in turn tell Heitkamp and Cramer what to do when and for how long. Their survival as incumbents to North Dakota voters will depend on how often they buck the party line. Conrad and Dorgan ran 65-70% margins by doing just that. Hoeven is doing a pretty good job of it so far, being one of the few Republicans to ignore the pathetic Grover Norquist. We’ll see what Cramer and Heitkamp do.

Farm Bill has a year, we will have a minimum of one but I predict two cliffs before that.
