I read that today and thought oh joy satan found a friend!

Just like so many other unsustainable actions in our country like the current obamafraud insurance it's all about the tax payer keeping others alive ........ just keep on working so the rest can profit from us ...........

But in the US, ‘success’ in agriculture depends on over $51 billion of taxpayer handouts to over a 10-year period to keep the gravy train on track for a particular system of agriculture designed to maintain corporate agribusiness profit margins. And such ‘success’ fails to factor in all of the external social, health and environmental costs that mean this type of model is ultimately unsustainable. It is easy to spin failure as success when the parameters are narrowly defined.
