"And the elimination of farm subsidies would need to be done in a smart way. Expensive food is bad for America"
Food prices would drop in the long run without subsidies and price controls. Those subsidies don't make any sense from a free market system. The same would be true for steel subsidies and prices controls, etc. All of it should be eliminated.

I agree. But just like every other absurd idea pushed on us during the American Socialist Revolution, we need to be careful. We can't just end Social Security and Medicare tomorrow, it takes some planning.
