Sir Rand Paul Now Supports Farm Subsidies

One of the biggest forms of a socialist welfare state is farm subsidies. The federal government pays farmers not to work. This supposedly keeps the markets from being flooded with grain, food and other farming materials. It keeps the markets regulated via price controls, central planning and is absolutely a redistribution of tax dollars. Yet the so-called most "conservative" amongst American voters are farmers that claim to be against the welfare state. Farmers are hard workers, America's backbone if you'll recall. And the state of Kentucky received over $300 million in farm subsidies in 2008.  That's a lot of tax money going to a lot of Republicans. 

In a complete reversal from his primary, Rand "Trinity" Paul now says he's for a socialized farming industry.  Of course he is.

Another perfect example of a socialist welfare state is Medicare.  It's a single payer system.  Millions of people pay into it and receive not a single benefit from it.  And just like socialized subsidies to farmers, Paul also isn't against doing away with Medicare.  Or as we learned months ago, he's against doing away with the part that pays him.

The two biggest forms of socialism in America and Rand Paul supports both.  But...

Here's how this will go.  Rand Paul, someone who is in support of a socialized farming industry, who supports a socialized health care system just as long as he keeps his payments, who loves TARP so much that he raises money from Members of Congress that voted in favor of it and keeps his campaign funds in a bank that received $95 million of TARP money, will be branded by the MSM as a staunch fiscal conservative that is standing up to Big Government and fighting to restore America to the way it was before socialism took over.  Even though in reality he is nothing of the kind.  But that's exactly how it will go.
