But not in this article from NBCNEWS.com. Here are some pull quotes:
An unusually early and enormous snowstorm over the weekend caught South Dakota ranchers and farmers unprepared, killing tens of thousands of cattle and ravaging the state's $7 billion industry — an industry left without assistance because of the federal government shutdown.
As many as 75,000 cattle have perished since the storm slammed the western part of the state Thursday through Saturday with snowfall that set records for the entire month of October in just three days, state and industry officials said. (I'm assuming this was caused by climate change, formerly known as global warming. The article doesn't say.)
Ranchers have no one to ask for help or reimbursement. That's because Congress has yet to pass a new farm bill, which subsidizes agricultural producers. And even if there were a farm bill, the government shutdown means nothing could be done under one anyway.
The entitlement mentality obviously has no bounds.
