US Govt buying $40 million worth of surplus chicken with tax dollars

Poor chickens abused their whole lives and died...for nothing but lining the pockets of those employed by industries propped up by tax dollars, and now getting a $40 million for overproduction. Another reason factory farms are bad: they suck up tax subsidies every year and "special" bailouts like this, further hurting the US economy and perverting markets. This is the opposition of a free market in action. It's a make work, make cruelty bondoggle. http://money.cnn.com/2011/08/16/news/economy/chicken_prices/
