“The Senate joined the House on Thursday and passed a $289 billion farm bill that President George Bush has repeatedly threatened to veto. The bill was approved by more than a majority vote and will likely override any such move by the President. Senators voted 81-15 to pass the legislation that the White House says gives to much subsidies to farmers. The House approved the bill by a 318-106 vote the previous day. The bill provides subsidies to farmers with an income of up to $750,000 and nonfarm income of $500,000.” (05/16/08) Link: http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7010971094 Filed under: RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
