| ...my Great Uncle once related to me a story about his neighbor farming the government...at least back then, we kept the $ at home... HT: Weasel Zippers [FoxNews] The subsidies to the North American Islamic Trust are just a slice of the questionable payments that, as has been well documented, go to millionaires and non-farmers every year. But as Congress moves to rein in the program, these subsidies stand out considering the group's involvement in the Holy Land Foundation case of 2008. During the trial, the group's farm subsidies stopped, only to be reinstated after a federal judge cleared them. |
