On the recordJuly 11, 2001
I want to say that we have passed a bill for $74.6 billion, the Federal Government's involvement in agriculture, and the farmers of the United States are less than 2 percent of the population. We take good care of our farmers and they give us good return. We are the best fed Nation in the world, but we certainly take very good care of them. Any people among those farmers and that particular group that continues to talk about not wanting the help of government or complaining about big government, telling government to get off their back, et cetera, it is hypocritical because the government is very much involved in producing the best agricultural system in the world. It is a monument to the achievement of government and education.
