Farm subsidies and government-subsidized crop insurance are one of the biggest portions of federal spending in South Dakota. The following shows how they compared with federal spending on other well-known programs or entities in the state in 2012:
Farm subsidies: $720,927,000
Premium subsidized crop insurance: $474,805,350
Highway planning and construction: $323,593,936
Food stamps*: $165,357,967
Ellsworth Air Force Base: $102,400,000<DiSanto's proposed legislation would do nothing but reinforce SDGOP's hypocrisy on federal dependency. She is leading a crusade against the Rapid City County Commission, too.
