  Why is Iowa a Blue leaning state

Dead simple; farmer welfare. The Republican party (and I) would like to see a gradual end to farm subsidies, starting with ethanol.

No argument whatsoever Art, about the freeloaders. They just represent bought and paid for Democratic votes. But don't think I consider 90% of US farmers to be in that group. That said, just ten percent of America's largest and richest farms collect almost three-fourths of of the government handouts. And a huge percentage of that is corn for ethanol. Adding to that, I'm a diesel guy. My taxes subsidize ethanol that I don't even use.

Good point Frank. I forgot that SNAP was a USDA program. But the 2008 Farm Bill is a five year $288 billion dollar bill passed in 2008. What they're calling the 2012 Farm Bill is still sitting in the House. So while the 2008 bill hasn't technically expired, it's pretty much been spent into oblivion. That bill was partially based upon then-current food stamp participation, which was allocated $39 billion for 2008. Under this administration, participation exploded to $82 billion - in 2012 alone.
