If the farmers are totally subsidised, why is it no suprise that the groundwater is running out when the pumps are left on all night? This is liberal socialism at it's worst! Being a conservative means just that, to CONSERVE! If they had to pay for the power in the first place and it were necessary to be more efficient, like the current plan in place suggests, do you really think this problem would be that bad?

What the heck is so wrong with pulling your own weight? When will we EVER figure out that a government that gives you everything you want like a big daddy would leads to a totally liberal society that is 100% guaranteed sure to fail?

How is it that the liberal way out only serves to guarantee enabling the problem to continue in the first place if you subsidise it? I'm sorry, but it is hard for me to feel sorry for a farmer who wants a government to steal from a rich man who can afford a million dollar house to give him more while he runs out of water because he's getting FREE power and leaves the pumps on all night wasting what he's been given!
