@Jonricha @mekkaokereke No they are the villains and every family farm barely hanging on due to government subsidies should be wiped out, not strung along for decades causing only further debt and misery. A farm is a business and if you're bad at business you deserve the consequences.

e.g., This is not WW2. My grandfather was told to go home and farm to serve the war effort. That's not where we are today.

Instead we are paying millions of farmers to grow crops we don't need and the results are disastrous to our economy and our health. That's how we got HFCS. That's how we got ethanol (which destroys cars -- another burden on the taxpayer). That's how we get our terrible quality meat that everyone eats. The fertilizer we're paying them to use is destroying our environment. Almost all the corn not being used for those purposes goes to feed animals, not humans. They grow food to feed our cattle as cheap as possible, not to feed us. It subsidizes factory farms that we all detest!

The Farm Bill exists only to protect "farming culture" in America. That's it. Imagine if we did the same for any other cultural group in America. It would be absolute outrage.
