I live in a big farming state and they absolutely do this! Complain about welfare and freeloaders and take a big ol' handout all the time. Too much rain= disaster declaration and handout. Not enough rain = disaster declaration and handout. Granted the local economies would also be hurt if the farmers were not propped up but the fact they are blatant hypocrites is what grinds my gears. Most vote Republican but love that socialism.
