Farm bill fails..
The Farm bill just failed in the House. Cue the Speaker is a Loser comments. But it needed to fail because of the cuts to food stamps that were also contained in the bill. The President had already threatened to veto it should it have arrived on his desk. Unfortunately, the Industrial Hemp amendment that was successfully added to the bill, by virtue of that placement, also went down in flames.
I have to wonder why they do things this way in Congress. They know full well that a bill isn’t going anywhere, yet they attach other bills to it anyway. Do they think they deserve praise for this? My senator apparently blamed the hippie pot smokers for the last version not passing. I read an article where he seemed to suggest that there was confusion over the difference between industrial hemp and the demon weed. He seemed to suggest that most people believed they were indeed the same plant and that’s why the bill failed. Oh right. He can open his mouth and have all that bullshit come out, but he can’t open his mouth and educate his brethren about the differences? That was cheap and beneath you, sweetie. Don’t do that anymore please. You know, because we all really like you.
Their work is supposed to be about the people. Instead it’s about the drama.
