WASHINGTON -- At least three of the Wisconsin state Senate Republicans currently demanding that public workers sacrifice benefits, wages and even collective bargaining rights for the sake of the budget have applied for and received hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal farm subsidies, a Huffington Post review of state and federal records shows.
From 1995 through 2009, state Sens. Luther Olsen, Dale Schultz and Sheila Harsdorf all had stakes in farms that received between them more than $300,000 in taxpayer funds.

Kinda like our own Clint Didier.
And so many others.
The farm subsidies have been around so long, and so many farmers have gotten them, they've become an ubiquitous fact of life that few take into consideration any more.
Yeah, the subsidies are "entitlements" as far as farmers are concerned.
