It's not just millionaires and billionaires who are fleeing the
economic madness in California. Even cows are starting to depart
for greener pastures. That's right, 400 bovine refugees shuffled
off to Kansas just this month, with more expected to follow as
over 100 dairy farms in California close their doors.  Why are
cows voting with their hooves?  It's hard to find a government
program as insane as the complex web of price supports, market
orders, direct payments, diversion programs, herd reductions,
import barriers, export subsidies, and stacked-to-the-rafters
cheese warehouses that characterize Uncle Sam's efforts to
"rationally manage" the dairy market. If you really want to
understand how crony capitalism works to create market
conditions only a Soviet commissar could love, take a look at
what happens when byzantine federal regulations collide with
state interventions.
