When a new source of taxation is found it never means, in practice, that the old source is abandoned. It merely means that the politicians have two ways of milking the taxpayer where they had one before. -- H.L. Mencken

Farm Subsidy Database!

Posted by Keith Capp - December 08, 2008

Are you wondering where the US Government is sending farm subsidies? Wondering where your tax dollars are going in your state, congressional district, and/or county? Then check out the Environmental Working Group’s Farm Subsidy Database. The database is interactive and easy to use!

Today, I learned that Texas, Iowa, and Illinois received 25.7% of the total USDA subsidies between 1995-2006.
