Mr. Berry pays a visit
Congressman Marion Berry stopped by the other day. He's probably the most immediately likable member of the Arkansas congressional delegation. He says that the recent newspaper story about ownership of his farming company selectively presented the facts and that the USDA thinks he is clean. That is what I took his statement to be, anyway.
He is for enforcement of immigration laws, even if it means building a seven hundred mile fence. Representative Berry is still hacked off over the Medicare "Section D" drug program and he says it hurts older folks and local drug stores. He is a pharmacist as well as gentleman farmer, you know.
He took a shot at Asa Hutchinson for not asking for more resources when he worked for homeland security. Berry says the administration fights putting enough resources into the Iraq was to protect tax cuts for the wealthy, and he is still in favor of drastically cutting the estate tax. He thinks Democrats can take back the House.
The most remarkable part of the interview is Berry's devout belief that farm products can be used as additives to fuel. He has an absolutely utopian vision and I have to think he knows something about it. I can't see cars running on anything but gas. Must be a generational thing.
