Off the top of my head...energy. Farm subsidies ...
here's a little ditty with your coffee:
Thus, large farms and agribusinesses--which not only have the most acres of land, but also, because of their economies of scale, happen to be the nation's most profitable farms--receive the largest subsidies. Meanwhile, family farmers with few acres receive little or nothing in subsidies. In other words, far from serving as a safety net for poor farmers, farm subsidies comprise America's largest corporate welfare program.
Think of this....we had a slow economic downturn after 9/11. Not blaming anyone here...but think about it. Was still slow in 2002 and 2003. Getting better now, consumer confidence has not been fully restored yet, but we're getting there...
How come, when Forbes released it's richest people in the world recently, how come there is a RECORD NUMBER OF NEW BILLIOINAIRES? See where your tax dollars are REALLY going?
Keep happily paying those subsidies, oh wait, corporate welfare. That's who is really getting welfare.
