If any of this bother you folks, there is a whole passel of facts out there on the internet - you'll find surprising facts; Majority of the money goes to big corporate farmers, majority of the money goes to those states that hold the earliest primaries, much of the money goes to states where candidates have to face Caucuses (cauci?) eyeball to eyeball. .

Now how big does that stimulus check the Democrats in gov'mint sent you along with a pat on the head and $4.00 gasoline and the grocery inflation caused by misusing corn for ethanol?
