The "Affordable Cow Act", LOL!!

Mar 22, 2015 12:54PM PDT

Someone there has a sense of humor. Turned down Obama's "Affordable Care Act" but has passed an "Affordable Cow Act" to provide cheaper insurance for dairies and beef producers. Believe it or not, Obama's behind it.

"I kinda jokingly refer to it as 'Obamacows' because it was the Farm Bill of 2014 that created this insurance program.... Silvey said. "We're going to use state tax dollars to pay for 70
percent of a federal insurance program created by the Obama
administration, for cows."


The cows win.
