joni Ernst family received 1/2 million dollars in government handouts

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

Wow, you could buy a lot of bread bags with that. Rows and rows.

Wow, you idiots really eat up that BS. By her "family" you actually mean her parents and grandparents who, like thousands of other small farmers, received agricultural subsidies over many decades so they wouldn't lose their farms. Kind of puts it in perspective, eh? But don't let that interrupt your propaganda mill...

Read the article, idiot:

"".....between 1995 and 2009, Ernst’s family received nearly a half-million dollars in government handouts, payments targeted toward subsidizing farms with taxpayer funds.""

How about "uncle" instead of "family?" Or would that spoil your little deception?

If it was her uncle then why did you say parents and grandparents?

I was mistaken by underestimating the duplicity of the OP. I assumed that at least a minimal degree of accuracy was included in the use of the term "family;" thus I believed that parent and grandparents must have been included in the otherwise disingenuous article. As it turned out, even this low standard was not met: The vast majority of these "government handouts" involved her uncle's farm, from which she received no direct benefits. Does that clear up your befuddlement?

Damage control, once one has blown pixelated bullshit from one's pie hole, is so unbecoming.

So, ole pig-castrating Joni likes her government welfare. What a surprise...

Senator Harkin D-IA sure fought for them until Joni took his office.

More tea party hypocrisy.


"Joni Ernst, the new Republican senator from Iowa who delivered the GOP response to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech Tuesday night, called in her address for cuts in government spending and described how her views grew out of her own “simple” upbringing, one in which her family diligently watched ever scarce penny, to the point where she owned only one pair of shoes.

But an investigation of public records by the Washington D.C.-based District Sentinel online news site showed that between 1995 and 2009, Ernst’s family received nearly a half-million dollars in government handouts, payments targeted toward subsidizing farms with taxpayer funds.

“I had only one good pair of shoes. So on rainy school days, my mom would slip plastic bread bags over them to keep them dry,” Ernst described in her State of the Union rebuttal Tuesday.

“But I was never embarrassed. Because the school bus would be filled with rows and rows of young Iowans with bread bags slipped over their feet. Our parents may not have had much, but they worked hard for what they did have.”

Would you like to know how much farm subsidies went to Hollywood liberals for bogus "farms" they declared? The Ernst Farms are doing nothing more than million of other farmers are qualified for. Your thread is a fail and doesn't deserve further debate.

I don't think you're going to find anyone in Hollywood running for public office based on cutting the nuts off hogs.

Now....starring in movies with chimpanzees.
No problem.

From the bread bag to the government feed bag. Fascinating.

And to think her number one priority is to kick about 100,000 of her fellow Iowans off Medicaid.

What a c-word.

And republicans are the misoginists? Hypocrite!

Have you noticed that the leftist whiners on the board never talk about their own (Democrats') policies, mistakes, lies, diversions, crimes etc.?

All they seem to do here is whine about Republicans.

[Vandalshandle]

MY, my, my. Now that a tea party candidate has been outed for supporting and living off of government price subsidies, suddenly the tea party has absolutely no problem with government farm subsidies!

Democrats don't think American helping American is socialism and shouldn't be allowed.

Yet, there are the Republicans with a hand held out.

hear that CrusaderFrank ? Your peoples standard bearer is a deadbeat living-off of an FDR program

Yeah
Too bad all that money goes into running and managing the farm crops that the Federal agriculture regulations demand instead of cloths and food for the family eh?

...

Ernst’s father, Richard Culver, was given $14,705 in conservation payments and $23,690 in commodity subsidies by the federal government–with all but twelve dollars allocated for corn support.

Joni needs to castrate her father.

I read it just fine Dot.
It was the commit you made that she is a deadbeat living off a Dem's program of which none of it goes to the family but to the farm.
A deadbeat would be someone living off of welfare that does nothing

Here lemme post this - maybe you missed it:

Yeah, when someone I like feeds off the public trough, it's:
"So what"
"Others do it too"
"what about so-and-so who does it"

WE HAVE TO CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING - PERIOD.

Turning it into a partisan pissing match only GUARANTEES that we will never make any meaningful progress toward a balanced budget.

I think that small independent farmers should get help, but the not big commercial farms (this is what should be cut back in that program).

Just one more person saying: "I don't mind if the person I prefer gets government handouts - I only want them to go to the people I prefer.

No one is really serious about cutting spending. People are only serious about who the checks should be made out to.
