I support farm subsidies.

Agribusiness used to be considered a military sensitive industry, because you need to be able to feed your own army.

We’re idiots if we start buying all our food from china too.

Raise the trade tariffs. Protect most of our industries, especially food.

How does paying people who own farmland to not grow food help create an abundance of food? Farm subsidies subsidize high food prices.

Now, I know you'll say, "If food is too cheap, then farmers won't produce it since it won't be profitable." That may have been true in the 1930s, but today farmers have financial instruments to partially shield them from price fluctuations in their products.

If you still support farm subsidies, would you be willing to gradually phase out the federal program, and allow states to decide whether it's economically beneficial to continue agricultural subsidies?

I suggest you study economics and how trade works before advocating big-government anti-capitalist programs to protect special interests.
