Vicky Hartzler suggests her $774,000 farm subsidy provided ‘national security’

U.S. Rep-elect and tea party favorite Vicky Hartzler is going to Washington with a promise to cut spending. Of course, she’s not keen on the idea of messing with Medicare, Social Security or the military, the popular programs which pose the country’s long-term deficit problem.
