Illinois farmers don’t want a handout — they want a fair shot at making a buck. They want stable markets and reasonable input costs. They want a chance to make a living. I’m proud to have their backs and give them the support they deserve.

He simply must be removed from office as any other President would have been if they had uttered these words. "A small price to pay" means he is willing to let 15 million Americans be murdered and he thinks it is acceptable. The fact that those people clapped when he said that makes me sick.
