My opinion is that a subsidy in the name of the environment is still a subsidy

Well thank you for saying this. Our government is now paying these subsidies as party of the WTO agreement, the Doha round. This is a direct example of how the WTO is affecting our right to self government. It is an irrefutable example of a global socialist body telling Americans what they must do with their money.

The U.S. is not paying farm subsidies because the WTO told it to. It is paying subsidies because the U.S. Congress voted to do so. Keeping in mind our Congress is primarily a socialist body, it strains the imagination why you cannot give credit where credit is due.
