Farm Bill debate thread

Is anyone in favor of the Farm Bill’s sustained subsidy of profitable agricultural businesses or is this a moot point among us?

    If the business is profitable, why does it need welfare?
    If the business is unprofitable, why does it deserve welfare?

    A government subsidy is supported by tax dollars. This means that a portion of your money is being redistributed to subsidized agribusinesses.

    If you feel that this is an acceptable use of your production and you don’t mind that the government is forcing you to pay it, then it is indeed a moot point.
