charlie, you're on the "washington journal" with alan bjerga of bloomberg news. caller: thanks i wonder if that gentleman can talk about the congress persons about these farm subsidies. charles grassley and for five other members get subsidies over the year from the federal government. michelle bachmann did something like put all her farm holdings in somebody else's name. they do everything they can to hide this stuff. it is probably not illegal but it just does not seem right that people are basically millionaires getting farm subsidies. guest: it is not illegal and not as common as a used to be. if you want more information, you could go to the environmental working group data base. that goes back to 1995 and you can get that information online. if members of congress have farm operations, there is a good chance they will get subsidies depending on the crop they are growing korean getting back to direct payment -- the government is paying $5 billion for us to grow certain cross because they have that landham those are those crops. it will be interesting to see
