There is not doubt that free enterprise lose. We know now that this entire socialist pacifist scheme was to change the entire structure and philosophy of our nation into ideology of a communal, socialist European type nation which is more global than national. The hatred of nationalism by liberals has long been known. But, there are real losers in this spree. One that no one writes or talks about is the USA farmer. Like the days of the Depression, many cow farmers, milk producers are thinking of killing the herds because the value of their product has so diminished because of no mention of farms in this Porkulas.Milk prices have dropped so low, that farmers can no longer afford to feed the animals. Of course, the Left hates beef, burgers, McDonalds, Carl Jrs. et al and thinks that methane alone should be taxes so high, all cattle farmers should be displaced by soy ! Nutters all the way. Abroad the global recession has cut into all diary products from the USA like cheese, butter, milk et al. There are some 9.3 dairy milk cows. Some one million and one half would have to be slaughtered unless people pick up their demand.Small farmers are really hurting. Liberals hate large ag-business-farms so they hope that they too are hurt. What gets me is that there used to be Farm lobbies strong enough that both parties cared about them and their product. Now lobbies are hated except liberal ones, of course. We all were against the silly subsidies that farmers go NOT TO GROW STUFF. Remember them? And with water shortages in many farm states, including NJ, Ca., and Fla., food prices in general will rise in the summer and early Fall. This nation used to feed ourselves and the world. With socialism now on the rise, who knows what our farm products will look like and where they will come from. Hopefully, not China or India or Korea or Taiwan where we get all our other products, In this latest Stimulus PC baloney, farm industries were cut out of the $18 billion tax breaks that would have expanded their ability to use current losses to get refunds against taxes paid when they were making larger profits. And BTW, it has been since 1914 when the farm industry and industries of the steel et al type have had parity in profit. We have more efficient farms but as years have gone on, and from now on, small farms will simply stop their efforts and roll it over to Ag-Business corporations. Of course, other losers in this huge deficit and spending horror, include Home builders, the nuclear energy industry: the enviros cut out most of their efforts to get in on the carbon credits, the defense industry which will build few new weapons systems since BHO now declares all wars against terrorists over and won except in Afghanistan and Pakistan, who he doesn't like and wants Bin Laden for glory. Also, there was nothing in the new budget for , dah dah, Homeland Security, border security, ICE. Can you note this? What the nation really needs did not get a lift. But, Large hospices, General Motors, Big Govt., the jobless and poor got redistribution of tax payer monies that they did not earn, education that has failed miserably for a generation got billions, and the alternative energy industries which will not pilot our cars or make electricity grids better, safer or more efficient all got the winner's tag. And naturally, the EPA which now rules all it surveys with Pelosi's mouse and other nutty stuff that the taxpayer should not fund. Oh well, are we losers? Yes. But, I will not allow myself or family to be losers since I will take care of myself and my wife and dog and keep the faith as long as I breath. Conservative Christians just never give up! That should be all of our theme here on townhall.com.
