after being added on there as an extension to an extension to the 2023 version that never really got finalized being an extension of the 2018 one.

All those crop and other produce subsidies like MILK are part of that and not a peep out of the M$M about what will happen when those subsidies (appropriated until March 2025 via H.R.10545 - American Relief Act, 2025 and extended with that last lapsed C.R. Sept. 30), that they are obviously still paying out (but amazingly not SNAP), run dry. I.e., the milk prices will skyrocket.
