I think the sugar subsidy had something to do with propping up the U.S. sugar industry after we broke ties with Cuba. If the program is going to have these kind of consequences maybe it should be scrapped.

The Fanjul brother, Cuban refugee family, and now the sugar kings of Florida, donate big money. One brother handles the Democrats, the other brother buys off the Republicans.



Which is what people want. It is because it, and other stuff like it goes on for decades. Therefor it has the support of the American people.
