    Congressman Who Gets Millions In Farm Subsidies Says Food Stamps Are Stealing

    Clearly, you still don't understand even the basics of farm subsidies, what they are and why they exist and what they do, even after being told the basics, and you still think that somehow farm subsidies and SNAP are directly connected. You're imagining a problem, an injustice, that isn't there...

    Congressman Who Gets Millions In Farm Subsidies Says Food Stamps Are Stealing

    That legislation is called "The Farm Bill" and there are lot of things in it, like farm subsidies, and food stamps, that aren't related at all. The legislation may be the same, but farm subsidies and food stamps are not. So, I take it you're all bent out of shape because a single piece of...

    Congressman Who Gets Millions In Farm Subsidies Says Food Stamps Are Stealing

    OK. State the point in one sentence. Should be easy enough. As you make the attempt, please do keep in mind that farm subsidies are not the same as welfare. Go...

    $3300 per night suite for Michelle

    The article, and its author, is a joke. "...adding some credence to accusations she is in the city for a quick vacation at taxpayer expense." No it doesn't. It doesn't add any credence to it at all. It's an unfounded accusation written by someone who didn't even take credit for the piece...

    Congressman Who Gets Millions In Farm Subsidies Says Food Stamps Are Stealing

    There's no question that the the whole food assistance program, essentially run by the USDA, is corrupt. But nothing in what you posted has anything to do with the farm subsidies. In fact, if you look at that bill, which I'm sure you have, you'll see that despite the dramatic increase in food...

    Congressman Who Gets Millions In Farm Subsidies Says Food Stamps Are Stealing

    Right here... You think they're the same, that farm subsidies and welfare are the same. I'd tell you again that they are not the same, not even remotely the same thing, but it would be a waste of good keystrokes since you seem to think facts are irrelevant if they don't support your ignorant...

    A Striking Contrast Among Motor Carriers

    OK, OH. Then you'll like this... There are countless numbers who are appreciative of the paragraph edits. :D Makes it easier to read, and thus, more people will. And they should.

    Dallas/Fort Worth Repair Shops

    Never heard anything good about the Freighliner dealers around there, but I have heard good things about SCS Fleet Services in Ft Worth. I know they work on everything from trucks to buses to fork lifts, mobile or at the shop. Never had any experience with them, tho.

    Congressman Who Gets Millions In Farm Subsidies Says Food Stamps Are Stealing

    That link is just chock full of misunderstandings and ignorance, and quite a few things that just aren't at all true. Paullud nailed it. It doesn't matter whether most of the farm subsidies go to large farms or small farms, it goes where the food is in order to stabilize the food supply. The...

    Congressman Who Gets Millions In Farm Subsidies Says Food Stamps Are Stealing

    Equating farm subsidies to Food Stamp welfare is way off the mark, and is done mostly by people who don't understand what farm subsidies really are. It's easy to look on the surface and conclude farm subsidies are nothing more than "farmer's welfare," but it's not. Not even close. Farm subsidies...

    New HOS rules still being fought !

    Seems to me that the rule should be, 14-hour on-duty clock starts when you go on-duty, and within those 14 hours you cannot drive more than 11 hours, and after the 14 hours are up you must take at least a 10 hour break before going on-duty again. End of rule. None of this x-hours in x-days...

    Vinegar uses and pictures this time..

    Vinegar has a plethora of uses, as does any other mild acid. I use it in the kitchen in many culinary ways, it's a cleaner, a disinfectant, and will bring the luster back to stainless steel utensils and frying pans. All of these uses can be readily observed, simple observation and experiment...

    At least she's not on the jury...

    That's pretty much it. No evidence has been presented. We do know some of what will be presented, however, but a lot of what people are taking as evidence isn't really evidence at all. Or it's evidence of nothing, or of something utterly unrelated to the incident. Evidence is only evidence...

    At least she's not on the jury...

    Wow, I had no idea that being in possession of jewelry that cannot be connected to a theft was evidence of anything, let alone evidence that the possesor was garbage. Amazing what you learn here on EO. I am garbage. Actually, what amazes me is how many people here jumped almost immediately to...

    Unbridled Exuberant Arrogance

    Everyone who has come out as a whistleblower has used the same term or other terms that mean the same thing - systemic, pervasive, ubiquitous. By definition, and by any intelligent sense you choose to use, there is no way that a small handful of people in the NSA are the only ones behind this...

    At least she's not on the jury...

    I agree. I think Mrs. Kravitz-Zimmerman got a little too nosy, saw "suspicious" where it didn't exist, escalated an "observe and report" situation into a situation where he then confronted Martin, and then Martin overreacted in typical combative teenager fashion, resulting in tragedy. I do...

    Unbridled Exuberant Arrogance

    While understandable that you have a need to do so, sorry, you cannot blame everyone other than the people who committed the abuses and the crimes for the crimes and abuses committed. The NSA is not the victim here. The NSA didn't do these things because they were allowed to do them, they did...
