...is unsustainable.

7 billion of us and counting, and the planet's ecosystems are straining under our weight more and more every day.

This will not end well for us.

It's just some last minute posturing to make it look like the House did something. Unless and until this bill is passed by BOTH chambers of Congress, it doesn't do a damn thing. It has not been signed into law, it's just a show vote.

"While there was little dispute over the difficult straits of the livestock industry, there was opposition to the bill from environmental groups disturbed by the cuts to the conservation programs, anti-tax groups who saw the bill as another government bailout and agriculture groups who have been pushing the House to vote on a five-year farm bill that, in addition to making fundamental changes in agriculture safety nets, would restore the disaster relief programs. The current long-term farm bill expires at the end of September."

Which must be why the bill didn't unanimously pass as some would assume.

I thought it sorted everything out on its own?

to help farmers, these assholes need to help everybody.
fuck R's in congress.
