Many of these people now see government as an adversary; yet they rush into its embrace to claim their share of money that they feel they paid. There are no villains in this landscape...

Moreover, the congressional effort is designed to bail out far fewer than one-half of 1% of the nation's farmers, specifically 11,000 sugar-beet growers and 1,800 raisers of sugar cane...
