I fault both parties for bloated farm subsidies, but at least the Republicans are talking about reform and reduction, while the Dems latest plan is loaded with more social welfare and spending:
"Ron Kind, a Democrat from Wisconsin, will introduce the first such bill next week. He wants more cash for conservation, bigger subsidies for biofuels and coupons to allow old folk and the poor to shop at farmers' markets. "

More subsidies for biofuels like those derived from corn? Why most of those receiving don't need any more or any at all, from the same article:
"Six out ten American farmers get no federal money, while 10% of farmers get 72% of it. Nor are these small, struggling family farmers. Over half the subsidies go to large commercial farms. "
Remember that for all Democrats talk about reducing corporate welfare, they are full of it and that party that will spend more everywhere it can.
