Farm bill update

In a sign of how insanely complicated our bills are nowadays, Congress discovered it had forgotten about 34 pages of it when it sent it to the White House. I know it's too hard to expect our politicians to actually read the damn things they are passing but it's seriously pathetic.

Of course, the best line was:

"We will have to repass the whole thing, as will the Senate," said Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y. "We can't let the farm bill just die."

Oh, how I disagree with that.
