As rockytopper just explained, the money is doled out to friends and relatives. That's the inherent evil in this type of government waste. Maybe I should get some stock and overgraze my watershed, then other people could have paid for my pond, and I wouldn't have had to build and pay for it myself. Guess that's the price I pay for trying to be a good land steward.
I'll have to say, I wholeheartedly agree. Sweat off my brow, in several lines of work, and borrowed money paid for mine.
