Government favouritism for farmers over education...

Yes, just weeks after the government grudgingly released 2.7 million Euro to help fund schools for extra-curricular activities (sport, arts, education...) for the year, they fork out 160 Million Euro to keep some pork producers happy after missing out on a few days production due to a lack of self-regulation in their industry. Disgraceful. Next thing, you'll hear of farmers who keep all their profits when the crops are good, but whine to the government for aid when the weather is bad. No, wait, that already happens! What other area of industry gets such help when there's a downturn?
