Ok, apparently this is in the same vein as the "Pork, the other white meat" and "Beef, its what's for dinner" campaigns. I didn't realize those, like "the incredible edible egg" type campaigns were federally subsidized, but apparently they are. So, ultimately, this is about whether or not the govt. should be involved at all in these types of things, and not just about Christmas trees.
Think you're mad now, don't look into what else the government already is/has been offering to private Christmass tree farmers for decades....
I mean, do if you want to truely get down into the mud and find your answer about who threw this looney idea against the wall and got it to stick, but don't blame me for comming out in the end dirtier and madder than you've gone in.
And with that and likely already
INcurring a #14, *punches the release and hits the silk*, so long thread.
