Kent Conrad Calls Bush Administration “Tone Deaf” After Farm Bill Veto

Because the farm bill represents the will of the American people.  Or something.  I’d argue that most Americans probably resent the fact that they’re forced to fork out billions for the defacto nationalization of the ag industry, but whatever.

What’s interesting is that Kent Conrad is calling President Bush “tone deaf” for taking a stance on the farm bill that isn’t all that different from one taken by Barack Obama, which is the candidate Conrad himself personally endorsed for President.

Somehow I doubt Conrad would call his buddy Barry tone deaf, though.  And I doubt anyone in the North Dakota media would be willing to ask Conrad a tough question or two about Obama’s stance on the farm bill.

So farmers get richer, taxpayers have to pay for more foodstamps because more people can’t afford the high prices.
Your government at “work.”
