Say you’re in a room full of non-farmers, what is your argument to justify direct payments to farmers? This would be excluding CRP, CSP or EQIP type program dollars.
I’m not arguing for or against, I cash the check just like everybody else. I do have a few self imposed rules on what I will or will not use that money for. No new Duramax, no improvements at the lake home and no new iron.
Simple. National security, war strategy, and making food so cheap that it only eats 10 cents of the dollar instead of 20 or 30. This frees up money for people to spend in the general economy. Without farm subsidies, the US economy would largely fail. Food would be to expensive or be reliant on imports which isn't good when your in a proxy war with China, Russia, and North Korea |
