We need to completely get rid of ALL farm subsidies. It has destroyed the average farmer while benefiting only corporations and those who “game” the system. Spoken from an Iowan who sees it with my own eyes!
End ALL subsides. But it will not happen until the gubmint is bloated.
It gets bloated because there are “good” subsidies and there are bad subsidies. This circular logic prevents the subsidies and also causes the gubmint growth.
The reality is that ALL subsidies are bad, because they are not freemarket solutions.
Few people know about farm subsidies. Any politician in the upper midwest who opposes farm subsidies better have large support in other areas.
I don't know the ins and outs of all the subsidies. Maybe some are justified, but I sure don't like the ethanol subsidy.
I've had to have three small engines repaired "thanks" to ethanol. The guy who repaired them said he saw a huge boom in his business after ethanol was added to gasoline. Only use premium (no ethanol) gas on your small engines.
