Fowler makes as much in a week as the Longs do in a year by “developing biofuels”. In other words, Fowler makes a very good living figuring out ways to scam the government out of subsidy money. Meanwhile, the rural family, which one might suppose would be the intended beneficiary of the subsidy, struggles along.
This is how it is with all well-intended government programs. They are supposed to help folks like the Longs, but the wind up sending Millions of dollars to jerks like Fowler, who do nothing all day but figure out how to game the system.
