SURPRISE, Neb. (AP) _ Mike Johanns says he's proud of his three years in President Bush's Cabinet, and thinks most Nebraskans are, too. But he's not afraid to differ with other Republicans on some points. He spoke out recently about a comment from the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, John McCain. Nebraskans don't want government running their health care decisions, he said, and predicts a national health care system would create a massive bureaucracy. McCain expressed frustration with the farm bill, saying it's loaded with unnecessary subsidies for farmers. Johanns says that sends a dangerous signal to other nations that could use the suggestion of cutting subsidies against U.S. trade negotiators. ___ On the Net: Mike Johanns for Senate: http://www.mikejohanns2008.com Pat Flynn for Senate: http://www.flynn2008.com Scott Kleeb: http://www.scottkleeb.com Tony Raimondo campaign: http://www.raimondo2008.com
