Bill that expired on october 1st. What is more a temporary expansion to the Food Stamp Program is get to expire tonight. Every five Years Congress passes a new farm bill that sets limits. Last year farmer subsy idyes in the United States totaled 14. 9 billion. And the government paid out Crop Insurance totaling 15. 8 billion. It guarantees farmers a price for their crop.

And i want to use the time that is allotted me, is it fair to say this can go on roughly four in our . Okay. Im not sure who the organizers are. So i want to use the time thats allotted me to try to clarify exactly whats going on. And in this particular case it does require a certain amount of clarity because virtually everything that is being said about the current round of israels massacre in gaza, virtually everything being said is not true.
