Government Cheese
Every Presidential candidate makes promises throughout their campaign to sway voters to earn their spot as president. For many candidates, only a few of these promises come to fruition. Other promises haunt them throughout their presidency. These promises present challenges for the White House in a few unique scenarios long after the president who made them is gone. That is exactly what happened when Jimmy Carter promised to spur the economy for dairy farmers. This is a story of government employees traveling the country tasting cheese, warehouses full of cheese stacked to the ceiling, and the government's hurried effort to get rid of its cheese through the Government Cheese program. This one sounds like a joke, but we promise it's a true story. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
