Milk Policy

Read this post via Ezra Klein on how "milk glut" (too much milk resulting from regulatory price controls) has led to a "cow retirement" (aka killing) amendment being added into the Senate bill. The Cattleman's Beef Assoc. beat the amendment in the House. So it's Big Beef v. Big Milk in a fight over who profits most from a ridiculous regulatory scheme.

Also, read this old WaPo article on a 2005 Milk Bill and all the big lobbying/sausage making that led to it.
