David, I think you and I have similar opinions on subsidies (as does tmrand). Where we differ is that you refuse to see the perspective of others on the same topic. You chose the "I got mine, screw everyone" perspective.

As I posted below; subsidizing domestic food production is a national security issue. But when you dump that heavily subsidized food on the world market, you are undercutting everyone else's domestic ag sectors. Heck, you are no better than China on this issue. Your government (as well as mine) decided a long time ago that letting farms go kaput isn't good for a myriad of reasons*. We choose supply management because we simply cannot compete with the billions dollar farm bills you get.

I don't want to get into the domestic welfare issues of USA - which sectors and people get what subsidies; that's your debate.
