When Americans think of farmers, they think of poor, but proud, folk looking stoically into the horizon surrounded by endless waves of golden grain in the Midwest or quaint New England farms in autumn surrounded by colorful leaves and bountiful harvests, family affairs where everyone pitches in and learns the value of hard work and sober frugality, and who could dare vote against Grandmaw and Grandpaw Clempett like that?! Of course, these days farms are really just big business plantations, and no true American slob would be caught dead in a field in July, but the image sure is purdy, isn't it?

Food stamps were a way of getting around welfare fraud by ensuring benefits went to food. Now we see that the problem was not "fraud" but "benefits".

More money and space will be needed for pauper's graves. I can hear the GOP complaining already.
