I have to agree with Philip Klein, Rob Bluey and the Club for Growth about last night’s answers to the farm subsidies question in the GOP YouTube/CNN debate.

Farm subsidies are just another name for taxpayer dollars spent on wealthy agribusinesses in places like Iowa. I am still waiting for a presidential candidate to come out strongly against this wasteful, anti-competitive and costly program. Robbing taxpayers to pay big agribusiness is no way to convince fiscal conservatives of your bona fides.

Rudy and Mitt had an opportunity to lay the smack down on farm subsidies, but they completely pandered to Iowans on this question last night.
