More Pork For Pig Farmers

The Agriculture Department, in a bid to help the ailing pork industry, said Thursday it will buy another $30 million of pork in an effort to boost prices. The USDA already has pledged to purchase $121 million of pork this year for government food-assistance programs, but producers continue to struggle. "This action will help mitigate further downward prices, stabilize market conditions, stimulate the economy, and provide high-quality, nutritious food to recipients of USDA's nutrition programs," USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack said...WSJ

If $121 million didn't work what makes them think another $30 million will?

It won't mitigate, it won't stabilize and it damn sure won't stimulate anything except my typing fingers.

If the gov't could buy our way to prosperity they'd a done it a long time ago.

These pussy pig farmers can now join the ranks of other government lackeys and inbred industries - Wall Street, banking, autos, etc.

It's a bunch of political pig shit and I can smell it clear down here at Mesquite.
