“Are we still subsidizing tobacco growers?”

Subsidize in what way, other than to enable the gov’t at various levels to tax it and make billions?

The subsidies amounted to something like a billion dollars between 1995 and 2012. Not much considering the revenue they generated.

That said I don’t want them subsidized either but if they and everybody else were free to do business, they wouldn’t need the welfare.
