Progressive Radio News Hour regular Bob Chapman says Supercommittee members plan billions of dollars in secret farm bill handouts to prop up failed agricultural policies. Now passed their self-imposed deadline without agreement, expect Congress to do it.
At the same time, automatic triggering will impose cuts. Congress must vote them up or down without amendments, debate or delay.
Expect more benefits for corporate favorites, higher deficits despite reductions, America's fiscal mess increasing, and economic conditions becoming worse than ever.
Bad policies produce failed results. It's just a matter of how bad, how soon.
