Talking Points Translated
By A Republican Ag Commitee Member
Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI-7), who voted the subsidy lobby's farm bill out of committee, now says U.S. subsidiaries targeted by the bill's offset in Ways and Means would be hit by a 600 percent tax increase, and those companies employ 201,000 Michiganders. Take a gander. Clearly Republicans are rallying around this argument, which, for now at least, powerfully combines their convictions with their willingness to stymie Democratic leadership's ambition to prove they run a do-something Congress.
