Oh, but you see they deserve that! See the difference?
Yeah, neither do I.

Ok, I will explain it. See, your parents gave you the farm. And when they died, Trump fixed it so if it’s big enough you won’t be taxed on it. I mean that makes you feel better, right? You’re so, so welcome. /s

I argued with someone recently who stated categorically that farm subsidies are NOT welfare..
Free money from the government, though... What else would you call it?

I'm gonna get down voted for pointing out that without those subsidizes, there would be years you'd have $10 a gallon milk, $5 bread, $15 hamburger, and $12 bacon. But yeah, corporate farming does know how to milk that tit to excess.

You are correct that feeding 330 million Americans is cheap because of subsidies. But the Ag dept manipulates numbers to set the game rules.

Gov money goes mostly to bigger operations, small farmer only gets a little

I’m all for helping American Farmers. We need them. Subsidize all day as long as my family gets fed. Thanks

Friendly reminder that trying to fight someone online is about as effective as throwing a bagel at a bulldozer. A lot of what we talk about gets people pretty emotional, but be mad at policies, not other users.
