Farm subsidies and especially ethanol are examples of profligate government waste. The famliy farm is now largely a myth that allows the government to pay subsides to Bob Dole's buddies at ADM and Conagra. Dole was the worst candidate ever. I can understand how people could look at his shopworn idea-free political hack act and actually have found Clinton preferable. But as long as Iowa has the first caucus, they'll never be yanked. And that's disgraceful of both parties. There are plenty of politicians in both parties responsible, but Dole was the driving force behind this idiocy.
