At which you continually fail. Small wonder that you're lonesome. Losers are often that.

Pricing and Understanding Farming Subsidies

Unproductive socialism is most obnoxious in the agricultural industry. Farming subsidies come predominantly from the Farm Bill, a Congress handout that equates to $428 billion in aid for the 2019-2023 period. Every five or six years a new bill gets passed. It’s a lot like the Soviet Union’s old five-year plans, the dominant force driving Stalin’s socialist industry policy.

As a result of these obscene redistribution policies, 39% of American net farm income in 2020 came from government handouts. To make a conservative estimate at the total price, adding the pro-rated farm bill assistance to special 2020 relief puts total farming subsidies for last year at $129.5 billion. That is socialism. There are no two ways around it. The free market approach would be to eliminate the subsidies altogether, and let the farms compete on their own.

Keep stuffing your pockets with that socialist Yankee money, Stan.
