    The Bush administration has been advocating cutting/underfunding WIC now for years. I find it obscene when compared to all the subsidies pushed by Bush and the Republican controlled Congress. Let's not even discuss the value of the taxcuts, and who received them. It's so stupid - the value of nutrition during the prenatal through the childhood years is incontrovertible
    figures...
    To us, it is the BEAST.

      Food stamps are distrubited by the ag dept of the gov. the have nothing really to do with the farms.
      Shall I say its part of the ag budget.

          Mrs. Tubes,

          Food stamps indirectly fund food products. Farmers are also given direct subsidies.

            I think when most people speak of farm subsidies, they mean DIRECT subsidies. By your reasoning, almost anything would be a farm subsidy because everyone buys food.

              I dont think anybody answered my question. Does the goverment pay farmers to not grow a crop. And just FYI I dont think the ag budget is the one that needs adjusting, If you want to know I think its the aid given to other countries that needs adjusting. For one why does the US always end up being the largest monetary support for all others.

                Buying something isn't the same thing as subsidizing something.

                  Yeah. It's a way to control oversupply.

                    Exactly. Which is why buying food with food stamps isn't farm subsidation.

                      thank you. Next question why cant the farmer just grow smaller amounts rather then be paid not to do it at all.

                        Because their price is determined by the market not how much they produce. The more they individually produce the more profit each one will make.

                          Yes it is, because it's govt funded.

                            got a good solution stop the non taxing of farm vehicles. That is so abused anyway.

                              so by your reasoning, Bush's tax cuts could be farm subsidies if people used them to buy food...

                                Ok hold up here the farm subs and the food stamps are in the same budget. One cut hurts both.
