    It is funny how liberals don’t understand economics at all. I have seen them call for the ending of farm subsidies.

    They don’t seem to grasp, that would create wild swing in the cost of food and the poor would be hammered.

      Depends on the crop and the farm. Subsidies for domestically grown/sold food? Yes, I’m all for subsidies.

      Subsidies for things like alfalfa that is mostly shipped out and sold over seas? Fuck that. Why are we subsidizing China’s economy? We are essentially paying for them to steal our water supply.

      Farmers have been vilified by the left so they are out to get them. They don’t take time consider what would happen if farm bills were removed.

        I would like to see us get back to more family farming over corporate farming. Corporate farming is bad for the supply. It’s often so specialized
