Nancy will essentially be president with know-nothing Obamabot.

Not much difference with the others, though, I am afraid.

Good points to consider, Ironguy.

I get very frustrated with the pass Senator Obama gets from, well, everyone. Cable news pundits don’t even attempt to conceal their intense lust for the situational socialist that is Senator Obama. We can only hope for at least some serious and impartial scrutiny from supposed news organization during the general election. It really won’t take much consistent observation to expose the fabrication of hope preached daily by the democratic Messiah.
Great Blog,

when I look over this bill from the Republican's shades, and then the democrat's shades. I see a shade of Purple. Neither side is off base on their arguments. I feel it's a head in the somewhat right direction, but it does need some editing.

The bill seems to add more funds to farms that need disaster relief. This is good for the ones hit hard by droughts, tornadoes, and fires. This gives them a leg up to get back to producing.

It supports the environment by adding a few extra billions to conservation programs. I feel that this is good, it allows us to continue to use the resources we need the most by conserving it.

It allows farmers to have more choice when it comes to getting loans. They could use "commodity programs with a choice between traditional price production safety net and new, market-oriented revenue coverage payments."

What I am skeptical about though is that this bill made it more expensive to produce ethanol. it reduced the tax credit. while it only went down by about 12 percent. doing this will give the farmers a reason to raise prices to compensate for loss of funds.

This is mildly made up for by a large tax credit if they make ethanol through crop waist. I guess the dems are trying to force the ethanol producers to not use food to make gas, use waist. It makes sense, though again, I am skeptical.

However I feel even that is defeated with the extended tariff of ethanol.

The farms raised food prices simply to adjust to the slight change in their funds. I feel it had good points to it, but then their are points I do question.

It leaves room to be revisited I guess if the democratic congress gets a president that's also democratic. At that point, they won't need to fuss with the bill so much that we end up with a bill that's on the gray side. Not good nor bad really, just something mediocre.
