So we subsidize them in order to keep prices from becoming depressed, and export our surplus food for dirt cheap or literally give it away to third world countries.
We don't subsidize it so that our farmers can sell American wheat cheaper than European wheat, which is what your country does with steel.
your farmers get 70 billion to keep the prices artificially high?

sweet.. wheres my pitchfork?
