[QUOTE="Nraman, post: 2795557, member: 10001"] A friend of mine is a family farmer, he grows Bermuda grass, he gets all kinds of freebies. He says that he can't make it without them. A google search on subsidies, family farming, corporate farming etc shows a big mess, billions of wasted money mostly. The ethanol we are forced to put in our car is part of it, even in OK where we produce oil we are forced to use ethanol so that some corporation can make billions in subsidies growing corn and paying lobbyists (google Bob Dole and ADM). I know that government control can be nice, I work for the airline industry and when the industry was regulated we did really well, after deregulation many companies went under, merged, pensions lost, jobs lost, outsourcing, a real mess. At the end the flying public benefited with dirt cheap tickets. I hate it but support it because it is good for the country. Except for the outsourcing part, that part stinks. [/QUOTE]
