New England Dairy Farming Compact

The New England Dairy Farming Compact binds New England states in rigid dairy policy, erupting as a congressional flashpoint where Bartlet's defiant 'no' vote guts farmers' livelihoods—milk prices tank, businesses teeter—igniting raw fury from loyal supporters turned accusers in smoke-choked VFW halls. Cal Mathis badgers Toby to bury the principled truth beneath spin, while Bartlet owns the 'screw-you' impact only to counterpunch with child poverty's blade: one in five American kids starve while profits fatten, forging unyielding defenses that cleave economic survival from moral fire and rally thunderous applause amid campaign peril.
