Shameless self promotion
I've got an article in the Volante today discussing farm subsidies.
-
-
"The farm subsidy system has failed. It's now an antiquated vehicle through which incomes are redistributed and the wealthy are coddled. Subsidies cost taxpayers $25 billon each year, with an extra $12 billion in the artificially high food prices they create.
This wasn't always the case. Subsidies once conjured images of families struggling to survive through harvest. That was 1935. Now it's trite rhetoric."
-
I hope that, upon the next draft of the Farm Bill, Congress will work to reform the subsidy system. Or better yet, get rid of it.
