[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 997107, member: 4362"] That all sounds like they are going to fix the problem but sounds like semantics to me. Replacing the direct payments with taxpayer subsidized insurance is like turning children loose in a candy factory because our present crop insurance program is broken. All the government needs to do is go back to the true intent of these programs which was to keep the farmer from losing his farm if the prices floored or some true disaster came and wiped everything out. There are good honest farmers who dispise these programs and are embarrassed by those who take advantage of the system. This is similar to the safety net called welfare. Unfotunately there are those people and farmers who have woven these programs into hammocks at the expense of the taxpayer. I have no problem with helping someone having a hard time but I have a tremendous problem with those who don't try or who abuse a program designed to help them when times get hard AND I have a huge problem with a government that stands by and allows them to do it when they know full well what they are doing.
