Since most journalists don't know where money comes from or any other real-life phenomenon it doesn't surprise me that a reporter from the American "bread basket" would attack farm subsidies. The Environmental Working Group she cites is an organic gardening crusade.

The Environmental Working Group she cites is an organic gardening crusade. You're welcome to convince me that subsidies as they exist are a good thing. There may be a place for a limited role, but most of what I've seen isn't much different than welfare. Additionally, I'd be willing to consider subsidies to the "small" farmer as a way of encouraging land conservation, economic or not. Despite the fact that the "small" druggist or "small" haberdasher or "small" restaurateur don't receive subsidies in the interest of preserving small town America. But that's not where the money goes.

BTW, this "bread basket" journalist appears to have lived in DC for decades. Don't the all :>)

Does that make the reporter a class traitor or something? "Hush yo mouf, chile! You be rattin' out the scam."
