For a really interesting read, google the Fanjul family, originally from Cuba, which is the primary beneficiary of the government’s sugar program.

Too bad Willie isn't here to defend his belief that paying higher prices today prevents us from having to pay higher prices in the future. I read recently that the average net worth for the American farmer is $900,000. Your tax dollars at work.

Many here support just that for a variety of programs.

During passover, you can get kosher coke with REAL sugar. It tastes so much better than the junk they make now with the HFCS that I can’t stand to drink the HFCS version anymore.

It nothing more than corporate welfare. We should eliminate all farm subsidies. Barry Goldwater had it right over forty years ago.
