Green Presidential Debate - Farm Bill

[FireweedFarm]

With exceptions (IA Greens 03?) Greens miss the big issue, & here. Farmers lack "price responsiveness" on both supply and demand sides, so trad. New Deal farm bills had price floors and supply management so US exported at a profit, and reserve supplies with price ceiling triggers to protect consumers and prevent food crisis, all with no commodity subsidies. These policies were ended, replaced with subsidies, who got billions yearly via below cost grain. Google "Farm Bill Primer" "Brad Wilson

that was pretty pathetic

Throught the Farm Bill you could have an incredible debate about free markets/economics/global trade, nutrition, corporate power and its ownership/corruption of our legislative process & bodies of govt, and the environment. It is everything.

These random answers don't educate at all, and only address some narrow concerns of small special interests, w/ absolutely no explanation of how or why they'd work for the better.
