Re: Why the USDA

said by cdru See Profile :

Rural doesn't mean middle of nowhere homestead out in the country where the nearest neighbor is a mile away. Rural also includes the thousands of small towns across the country that barely have decent POTS, let alone broadband.
Since your post appears to be in good faith:

Yes, I know what "rural" means. My tongue-in-cheek reply to the question regarding the USDA's role in rural America was just that: tongue-in-cheek. There is no department of rural development, as there is HUD. Maybe it's time there is. I don't know. But until that time, the USDA is the closest thing.
