KELOTV’s Steve Hemmingsen "Weighing In" column today discusses farm subsidies. Excerpt:
People in KELOLAND have always had this love/hate emotion about farm subsidies. Forays into the world free market have never worked well since other countries, many of which are socialist but don't think they are, continue to subsidize their farmers to the max.
Yes, Democrats "are socialists but don’t think they are". Hemmingsen then makes the case for a Bush implementation of Reaganomics:
Well, we'll have to see what shakes out, but I wonder if amid his son's mimicry of Reagan policies George Bush The Elder ever asks George The Younger if he's noticed the four years between the end of Reagan's first two terms and the beginning of Bill Clinton's era. Except for the choice of war zones there isn't a whole lot in common with Dad's four years.
Add this free market revival to the rest of the President's economic plans and we'll be able to look back on his current term as the third term of the Reagan Administration. If all this works, we should add Reagan to Mount Rushmore if for no other reason than he'll have been the first to have served as president posthumously. Woodrow Wilson came close, but no cigar.
