If Commodity Crop Subsidies Are So Vital, Why Complain When Identified as Beneficiaries?
The Agriculture Lobby, representing the biggest recipients of federal crop subsides, often claim that their clients are entitled to the subsidy payments. They assert that without the government checks, or with limits on the payments, American farms and farmers would collapse, rural communities would disappear, and people might starve.
So it seems incongruous at best that they would complain that farmers are somehow being "demonized" when they are identified as beneficiaries of those worthy payments.
