Blacking Out Transparency

The U.S. Department of Agricultural has stopped making public the names of farm subsidy recipients and how much they receive.

As noted by the liberal Environmental Working Group, the new policy "effectively shields from disclosure subsidy benefits going to multiple, and often absentee, owners of large agribusiness farming operations."

Transparency?

We're the Government, we don't gotta show you no stinkin' transparency! 

. . . and we don't gotta tell you how we spend your tax dollars or to whom we give 'em!
