Excerpt from Farm Crisis Act of 1982: Hearings Before the Committee on Agriculture, House of Representatives, Ninety-Seventh Congress, Second Session It seems like more of the same year after year. Today may be a little bit different because this is probably the first time that a farmer from Texas is going to be able to declare that the United States is in a full-scale depression. So I will just go ahead and de clare that right now. I think the President and the Congress should do the same. If you really want to evaluate just how bad the situation is with the economy, if you were to take away the social security, the food stamps, unemployment compensationy and all of the other social programs, I feel certain that we would have conditions today simi lar to those during the depression. I would like to point out that the American Agriculture Move ment has been telling Congress for the last 5 years we were going to have a depression and a deep recession, and it is here. Thou sands of pages of testimony have been presented since 1977 and still, with all this testimony Since 1976, we have lost nearly 1 mil lion farmers.
