Gst, how long would most farmers be able to survive without subsidies and insurance? Sure they drive up costs but in the long run, without subsidies and insurance how much would our food cost or even be available? Both are kind of rhetorical questions. I have a real question for you though, what would you personally prefer as far as subsidies, no subsidies, straight up supply and demand or some other system? Just curious as to what your solution might be.
Farmers directly get the subsidies but both consumers and farmers benefit from them. By the way, how many jars of taxpayers cash do you currently have buried?
