Rather than spending their waning days in power ending the sanctuary city crisis fueling drugs and gangs, Republicans are passing another nanny-state farm bill that bankrupts the nation, distorts agriculture and land-use markets, creates a monopoly for wealthy interests, and nationalizes our agriculture.
In classic GOP fashion, they took the $900 billion farm and food stamp bill, agreed to 95 percent of the premise of its socialist underpinnings, began negotiations by promising to change five percent, and then, in the spirit of bipartisanship, agreed to make it even worse than it was before.
This bill accounts for roughly $215 billion in spending every year, yet contains no meaningful reforms, even though the deficit just for the first two months of this fiscal year has already topped $300 billion! Put another way, by next year, interest on the debt itself may double the entire annual cost of the farm bill.
2) Making crop insurance like dysfunctional medical insurance: The 2014 farm bill created two new market-distorting, price-fixing programs to cover shallow loss: Price Loss Coverage and Agricultural Risk Coverage.
3) Crop insurance for non-farmers! The bill allows first cousins, nephews, and nieces of farmers to receive up to $125,000 in annual farm subsidies even if they are not farmers themselves but have some nebulously managerial involvement in the business.
What happens when governments pick winners and losers? A 2017 Congressional Research Service report noted that 94 percent of the farm subsidies under Title I of the bill go to just six commodities, with 46 percent going to corn.
The farm bills have led to the destruction of private farms in favor of corporate conglomerates, just like they created a monopoly for health care administration corporations destroying private practice.

This vote was to pass a $900 billion farm bill to fund crony capitalist farm subsidies and food stamps for the next five years.
