How much shit fuel are consumers forced to buy under what is essentially another government handout to farmers?
There shouldn't be a dime of taxpayer money spent on crop insurance. We shouldn't be subsidizing it. Let private insurers offer it (they won't because they'd lose their ass or it'd be comically expensive).
No one loves to preach more about the Free Market than farmers...yet there is nothing more Socialist than the American Farmer.
