Very good post Roach.
I fully support what they do so long as their economy can keep it up. If their government can make up the money spent on said subsidies by exportation of food to neighboring countries than they have a great model for others to follow.
I, for now, remain skeptical. I fear this will be like Nasser's plan to pay for the college education of anyone who wishes to attend, and then employing said people. While greatly successful at first, the cost of the program slowly sapped any economic strength from the country over time.
