The feral gummint's welfare payments to such of America's New Welfare Rich -- its "farmers" -- are a crime against Mankind.

Example: Huge quantities of the millions of feral-gummint created tons of stockpiled grains were dumped by "USAID" in previously agricultural exporter Somalia to the extent that, in quick succession, every farmer, every farmer-dependant business and the entire Somalia economy were bankrupted and mass-starvation almost immediately followed.

The USAID parasites, by then bored with Somalia and finding the environment they had created there distasteful and unpleasant and unable to meet the requirements of their colonial potentate-like spouses and no-neck chilleren -- tipped off their Socialist-Internationl media mates and pulled up stakes for other countries to experience -- and to plunge into US-Agricultural-Subsidy-Policy ruin.

And in came the by then wildly-flailing GHW Bush, the network anchors, the US Marines, the execrable Arkansas aberrations, the un, Delta Force, Les Aspin -- and a couple of RPGd Blackhawks .............

And all of that from the unexpected consequences of vote-buying welfare to parasitical thieving bastards who dare to call themselves, both "Americans" and "farmers."

Boy, it would be nice if farming was more of a "direct sell" proposition. Farmers could then choose to sell their products to people who appreciate a safe, economical, food supply...or NOT to those who don't.

A secure, safe, and wholesome food supply is probably the most basic requirement of a stable country. Reliance on third-world hellholes for our basic supplies (including steel, by the way) is ignorant, at best, and treasonous in reality. I will assume that you fall into the former category, due to your lack of knowledge about grain trading. I am by no means a protectionist, but radical free traders are seriously the most greedy, short-sighted, un-patriotic people I have ever encountered.

Oh, and your original premise about farmers being rich...thanks on behalf of all farmers on this forum for the best laugh in a long time!
