  7. If we can't kill farm subsidies, what can we kill?

    WASHINGTON -- Symbolic of the debate we're not having about government's size and role -- the essence of the deficit problem -- is the future of farm subsidies. Running $10 billion to $15 billion annually, they don't do much good. For starters, they haven't saved small farms. Since the 1930s, when subsidies began, the number of farms is down 70 percent. Nor do farmers need subsidies to stay profitable. Farmers' income for 2011 and 2012 ($135 billion and $133 billion, respectively) were the highest and second-highest ever and would have been without subsidies.

  12. Rain and Lightning This Morning, Severe Weather Possible Tonight

    It’s going to be a busy weather day today as rain has gotten started early and will continue until later tonight.  While we don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves today’s rain will go a long way to helping us get the worst drought in the history of Central Indiana behind us.  As of 3am Thursday morning we have already seen a nice band of 2 inches plus in rainfall and Indianapolis is now 1.62 inches up on rain this month not counting any of today’s rainfall.  The latest drought maps will not include today or yesterday’s rain (the cut-off is Tuesday morning) but I was already looking at the area either holding steady or seeing slight improvements when it came to areas stricken with extreme and exceptional drought areas.
