Those three examples weren't passed as an add on to a farm bill, the topic of this is about 'war' that isn't really war. It causes unspeakable suffering and is making our country less safe while promoting a larger and less transparent government. I do not like any of the examples you posted, however I like unending 'wars' and faux patriotism even less.

No shortage of $70,000 pickup trucks in front of the local cafe at 9 am here, either.

thanx for your service Finn

Seems to me that a lot of people mistake people heavily in debt as rich. I could be wrong, but where I'm from, grandpa never had a new truck or new tractor. It was always used---well used. I'm sure he took subsities, but the farmers and land owners are the first people they look to when a new tax is "needed" for schools or whatever else. The taxes on the land today are more than they paid for the whole place in '67. Why don't we drop the land taxes and the subsities?

I would like to explore that idea more in depth, drop agriculture subsidies as well as property tax on lands that are farmed. The trend of "market efficiency" through large scale production is a poor one, concentrating wealth in the hands of few has never been a viable long term solution. Due to the influx of cheap that labor that has occurred and continues to occur small farmers cannot compete with large scale production that uses this cheap labor, if large farms had to pay more than 10 dollars a hour with no benefits other than a old trailer house out back we would not be seeing the dissolution of the small farms at the scale we are seeing it.

I apologize for straying so far from the topic which is the illegal war in Yemen. The war Iraq was not about terrorist, the war in Libya was not about terrorist, the war in Yemen is not about terrorist, if we want to prevent terrorist attacks all we have to do is secure our borders. Almost 200,000 people have died in Iraq due actions caused by the U.S. It was a mistake to kill Saddam, it was a mistake to kill Qaddafi, it was a mistake to try and kill Assad. We allowed the creation of Isis, we destabilized a entire region, our actions over seas have been both illegal and immoral and congresses refusal to act makes them as guilty as the presidents have been.

It's all a product of the welfare state.

You think we'd be fighting these wars if we actually had to pay for them?

Subsidies for businesses?

Artificially low interest rates?

Free phones?

Until we return to sound money practices there will never be meaningful change.

Finn joined the USMC as an infantryman to defend the Constitution.

Sell that ideological BS somewhere else .

Then there's this today.................

Which story is correct??????????????????

Hippe do I need to explain the difference between the House of Representatives and the Senate?

Nope, can't i ask which is correct??

Both versions are correct.

My convictions seem to have offended you in some way. Get over it.
Perhaps you can tell me why I joined the Marines more truthfully than I can?

Ohh, i see where ya'll are going with this, let me rephrase to be cleareer.

Which one holds water?

My uneducated guess is that status quo is what will hold water.

Holds water? What do you mean? Isn't a good thing to have debate in the House AND the Senate concerning the massacre in Yemen? That is, after all, their duty.
The Senate is democratically controlled and has no allegiance to the current republican president. The House is controlled by the same party as the president. The house doesn't like to have to do it's politically uncomfortable job of debating 'wars' and has taken steps to stop debate by the house liberty caucus.

Could be, i don't know which has more weight if any of it does.

Doesn't it have to pass both? Or is a Senate resolution different than putting it in a bill?

From your article Hippe:

The White House in particular has pushed back against the Senate’s measure, and if it were to end up on Trump’s desk, it would almost certainly face a presidential veto. Additionally, the House approved a rule on Wednesday that blocks the chamber from taking up any Yemen resolutions before the end of the year, meaning the Senate resolution won’t advance.

Also meaning what the house did was mute.

Steven wins the prize...Status quo.
