Iowa Republican senator Joni Ernst gave her party’s official response to the State of the Union address by boasting self-righteously about her humble origins and how her self-reliant, heartland-state family pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps, but conveniently failed to mention that her family’s farm was the beneficiary of nearly half a million dollars in federal subsidies.

    Did you even read it skndrbg…?
    Snopes pretty much backs up the statement.

    Her family did receive nearly half a million in federal subsidies.

    Can’t really say “self reliant” when the government is keeping your operation going, now can you?

    And what narrative are you speaking of…?
