[QUOTE="aplusmnt, post: 141151, member: 1399"] I think I could argue both sides of this issue, maybe that is why it is not cut and dry. I think from what it sounds like some of the crop subsidies are hard to understand, the paying for someone to do nothing. But then again I am sure this plays a big part in keeping cost of groceries lower for the consumer, and if crops brought what they should for the farmer to make a fair profit then things would be a lot higher for Americans at the grocery store, then in the end it would have an affect on the poverty level and would result in people on Welfare or just those with low income getting food stamps. In other words the government is going to be helping someone most likely might as well be helping the farmer I guess. As far as this help with fences, pastures and water. I say let our tax dollars go to those that are working hard to better themselves. So much of our tax dollars go to help those that do not want to work, get an education and even look for a better job. It is refreshing to see someone get tax dollars, that in doing so is creating extra work for themselves, more fences, more cattle more work, versus welfare which is less work. For me I think I will view it as a tax rebate check. Not the same as some worthless lazy person getting a free ride. [/QUOTE]
