Yes, those count. You should give those up, to put out of service the FDA who oversees your safety and the quality of the claim you are purchasing, and replace with real food or imported vitamins.

I buy most of my meat from Sorgs in Darien WI, where they butcher cows, pigs etc. on-site. Unfortunately despite being in business with an unblemished record for five generations, they are still subject to Fed inspections (I'd still shop there w/o them).

Well, you're encouraging the USDA to exist to protect your food safety. That will have to change. Guess you can slaughter your own? Fish! Oh, wait - the EPA controls the amount of toxins we can dump in your lakes.

And when I drive to Chicago it's on 294 (a State TOLLWAY).

Receives federal funds. Guess you'll have to just take 59 south.

And as I've said before the government has no business being involved in television either as a regulator or producer.

You need to stop watching television, as the government helps control the cost. You need to get off the grid, and go to totally private satillite transmissions.

BTW with the rain WI has had the past two weeks the corn will be another bumper crop. Too bad the fed government had nothing to do with it ther than getting in the way.

Oh, the affordability of corn is helped by the government.

Looks like everything you benefit from on a daily basis has been helped by your fellow citizens, and the decisions we've made to benefit us all in society.

What a horrible life you suffer from in this country, living off the riches of our mutual societal benefits! If you are going to bitch about 100% of the rest of what this society decides to do as a group for our mutual benefit, I'd think you would need to actively stop benefiting.

You remind me of Michelle Bachmann, railing against the government while she collects farm subsidies, federal funding for her husbands business, and federal campaign funds.
