Want a trully controversial subject. Some are suggesting that we end all farm subsidies. End them. This will allow us to make Europe do the same. This may just reduce the cost of food worldwide. This will allow poor countries to export more, and allow us to import cheaper, especially in an age of eliminating trade tarrifs.
Let's see, government get out of the way. The market works, costs go down. The economy expands and poor nations have more opportunity.
Kind of an easy call, unless you're a farmer getting paid by the government.

You are an idiot
You stop paying farmers and they will stop growing food
Then what will you do?
its called a free market. we are aloready paying farmers to not farm. stop paying them and let the market determine price. you think every farmer will stop growing food. what about all the farmers making a profit already? are they going to shut down?
Maybe we should have the government allocate farming to certain farmers.
Then they should tell all the others that they can't farm so that prices can be protected.
Think farmers would like that plan? We could call it the master open space plan. Talk about open spaces.
I've decided that until I start receiving regular checks from the government I no longer going to work. I'm going to stay at home and refuse to estimate or manager any more masonry projects. Ya! That will show 'em. Let's just see how the ecomony handles that.
