Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 11, 2013
Thank you for yielding. I'm the ranking member on the Ag Appropriations Committee, and I'm very proud that the USDA was founded by Abraham Lincoln. This bill essentially destroys agriculture in the United States because we grow food to feed people, and the USDA is responsible for both sides of that equation. This bill now just turns it into growers. My growers are there for the purpose of feeding people, and now we knock out all the people that need the food. This is ridiculous. This is not agriculture. This is not farming. This is destruction. This is divide and conquer. When you take away the people that need the food, you take away the purpose of agriculture. The best way to give the food back is to defeat this bill.
