Sausage, Laws, And Milk
Timothy Sandefur on Dec 11th 2006
This disgusting article should be required reading for all Americans, and particularly those who, like Prof. Kermit Roosevelt, make vague appeals to the alleged virtues of representative democracy. The bottom line: Congress conspires to make milk more expensive for poor mothers to buy for their babies, and why? To enrich dairy producers–who aren’t ashamed of it in the slightest:
[Republican Congressman Devin] Nunes added, ‘People out there were making millions of dollars a year off the backs of America’s dairy farmers.”
So Nunes made sure that the dairy farmers would make their millions off the backs of America’s poorest families, who are now forced to pay more for milk, thanks to him. Nunes is a nauseating example of the unprincipled, money-grabbing, big-government sleaze that has driven me and many others away from the Republican Party.
