[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 1036570, member: 1974"] I agree with most of what you say. However, you can see who gets how much in payments. Some gets funneled through corporation names and is a bit hard to see who puts it in their pocket. It's on farm.EWG.org Another thing to keep in mind about the farm subsidies, farmers depend on exports to market their product. The gov't can come along and put sanctions on a country denying them our food items. So the gov't can kill our prices in a flash, and we lose those markets for decades. At least the subsidies offset those losses. I've been wondering how the SNAP expenditures doubled between 2008 & 2012 without a budget for it? And now 0bama & dems think 3% is too much of a cut?
