Social security is nothing but a Ponzi scheme. If private companies spent all the retirement money they collected, they would be in jail for fraud. Country after country has moved towards privatization in this realm. We need to do so immediately. Farmers should be treated as any other business owners.
Government subsidies lead to massive surpluses and depressed prices for farmers.
People could afford more and better food if government ceased interfering in farming. Plus, most financial benefits of federal programs go to the bigger, corporate farms. Free competition and supply and demand are the best ways to stabilize agricultural problems. No particular occupation deserves special treatment at others' expense. All should be treated equally under the law.
