That would be foolish.
While it is an imperfect solution, government price support of agricultural commodities are what guarantee us a stable and abundant food supply. Without them, we'd fall back into the natural cycle of "feast or famine" that is inherent in agriculture.
Having a "wasteful" and economicly "inefficient" food surplus is a luxury that we can afford.
It sure beats the hell out of the riots that would accompany food shortages.
Care to suplement my food budget to cover the over priced products I purchase to pay for theat wasteful and inefficient food surplus?
I didn't think so.
Willie, you've made some hilarious posts in your day, and I've thoroughly enjoyed many of them, but this one tops them all. Food riots if we didn't have government price supports?? We're doomed to starvation if we don't have the Federal Government offer price supports? How did we ever survive our days as colonists and then all the way until FDR's Soviet-inspired New Deal without these supports?? LMAO!!!!!
