If you were one of millions who teared up over Paul Harvey’s ‘God Made A Farmer’ as presented so beautifully during the Super Bowl, by Ram trucks – get your hanky at the ready again!
This time you may not be moved by sentiment so much as distress at the condition of your chickens. While the sad truth is that ‘The Farmer’ has largely been replaced by Agribusiness, our film maker has an axe to grind. “Ram, we’re just like farmers, we got subsidized by taxpayers” It ruins his snappy punch-line to remember that the auto bailout saved over 1.45 million jobs, according to the nonpartisan Center for Automotive Research.
