When you speak in ignorance people will stop listening to you just the same way only the MSM listens to Jimmy.
Here is a post from another thread, at least learn the truth before you spout falsities.
Here is the 2007 USDA budget. Approx 56 billion/yr. of which approx 75% goes to food stamp recipients and similar programs. Also included are meat inspectors, forest service, etc.
Most of todays farmers have in fact became family corporations pushed mainly by tax advantages of corporate laws. Big business corp’s (ADM, etc.) receive some subsidies thru export enhancement programs for sending cheap US grain to such countries as Egypt and Turkey.
