I think most of the subsidies to farmers, are to limit supply, to keep the price high,Yet Tony has no problem ignoring the enormous food subsidies for farmers that are baked into all agricultural legislation. The federal government has a duty to ensure the production they encourage (for pricing/market purposes) through subsidies is consumed on the front end. As if it would be possible to feed oneself on $2/day without that meddling interference by the federal government.
and stable.
I am not sure if it is true, but the theory is that the bouncing prices would cause more
financial harm than the subsidies.
