You cannot understand that spending the tiny amount on a wasteful program vs. a program that keeps food cheap, will cost taxpayers?
That $30 billion still comes out of the taxpayer's pocket.
Not sure I understand your point. Because the government wastes money on a program you don't like, we can't complain about another program that wastes money that we don't like?
Maybe it'd make sense if you translate it into Latin?
The $30 billion in so-called farm aid ensures a plentiful supply of food.
Ya, It does distort the free market. No question, .gov is a bull in a China Shop when it attempts to ensure a outcome that they want.
Really wish there was a better way.
But we've never seen a American hungry child, you know with the distended belly?
Unless of course, Momma selling off the food stamps and welfare for dope - or keeping a boy friend happy.
Sadly, this nation has hardened our hearts, I mean who doesn't want to slap Sally Struthers and tell her those starvation problems come about due to tribal warfare, corruption, no rule of law ... ya da dah?
Do you tell me; why has food and fuel cost for Americans risen so much lately?
