The Farm Bill
The farm bill passed with a veto-proof number of votes. It's politics as usual and receives praise from Barack Obama. It includes provisions tailored to individual lobbyists. It's protectionist, wasteful, inefficient, and regressive. It's a "KICK ME" sign on the back of US trade negotiators.
That leaves me with little more to say.
