Beskrivelse

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1121828/open_sms] During the depression, the government’s Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) assisted dairy farmers by purchasing and storing cheese. This kept the supply down, which supported prices. When the depression ended, the farm lobby bribed/ persuaded politicians to continue programs to buy and store cheese. Then, in the 1980s the Reagan administration cut taxes on the rich and cut things like nutrition assistance programs. Instead the government provided hungry people with big blocks of “government cheese” to eat instead of vegetables and other nutritious food. Lets talk about it.
