DC,
You put yourself in the position of defending the indefensible.
Now you say government policy of artificially keeping the prices of some farm commodities low has no impact on consumption patterns. Just for the record, it does. On top of that poor people are more responsive than the wealthy would be. If "government cheese" is free, poor people will be more inclined to eat "government cheese". If "government oranges" were free, poor people will be more inclined to eat "government oranges".
If after researching it, you admit the Farm bill is bad for American's no one will think less of you. I think the real problem is that people don't give this issue much or any thought, including our leaders in Washington.
