After Three Years, The Farm Bill Is Up For A Final Vote. Here Is Why People Hate It

"It's too expensive. The current farm bill was supposed to save money. Its backers in Congress are touting the fact that the legislation cuts $16.5 billion from the deficit over the next decade, compared with simply extending previous law. But that's a relatively small trim compared with other proposals. In its 2014 budget, for instance, the White House had asked for farm legislation that would have saved twice as much, $38 billion -- mainly by slashing payouts to farmers." Brad Plumer in The Washington Post.
