Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is Going to Milk 49 States so New York Can Have Cheaper Milk

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is preparing to squeeze the taxpayers teat all so New York can have cheaper milk. She announced plans today to ensure federal help gets to New York's declining dairy farm industry.

The state lost 23 percent of its dairy farms in five years. Gillibrand will announce emergency steps such as preventing cuts to the Milk Income Loss program and fixing the milk-pricing system to create competitive pricing for New York dairy producers.

From 2002 to 2007, New York State lost nearly 25 percent of all dairy farms, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and continues to lose dairy farms.

Like I said, she is going to squeeze the other 49 to ensure New York has cheaper milk, and I cannot for the life of me see how this fits under interstate commerce since the goal here is to deliver New York Milk to New Yorkers. So expect federal subsidies to ensure Senator Gillibrand fixes the prices just like other agriculture subsidies have done the same.
