When the government interferes in the free market on the side of big agriculture with billions it raises prices on all of us.

School lunches and Snap food benefits are necessary in order to make food affordable for the families of America who are not getting the billions in corporate welfare

Time to get rid of the massive waste in corporate welfare that Rich McCormick has been doling out.

Corporate welfare is killing America, socially and economically.
