[QUOTE="Txwalt, post: 363437, member: 5970"] The federal government has no business getting involved with subsidies or welfare. Unless its a national security concern. The fact that they do creates all the pork barrel spending that we have now. There is nothing in the system to stop this. Legislators are bribed for their vote if their state gets xyz subsidy. Their are bribed by special interest groups for their vote. These guys need contributions to get reelected right. They get paid vacations to Hawaii to study coconut farming and the fishing industry. Or travel to France for a European economic study. Its all bribery and I don't see a way fix it. Why are we using corn for ethanol when sugarkane is cheaper to use. Because of the special interest lobby. Got off on a tangent there. The free market system / Capitalism works best. This is a proven fact. Whenever the Government starts messing with it, it only causes problems. The Soviet Union controlled all aspects of their economy and we know what happened to them. Walt [/QUOTE]
