  • Sallie James is a smart and good looking gal.

  • @WalridgeWalrus Agreed, instead of arguing his case he decides to slander a non-for-profit institute, which in the end says a lot about his position if he can't even make a decent counter-argument. Someone should of told him that ad hominems are for 12 year olds.

  • @trev0104 That would only happen if all of the import tariffs weren't also eliminated, so the rest of us could buy our corn, rice, beans, wheat, etc on the world market. The farmer said it himself: he can't compete against foreign producers without government subsidies. That means that foreign prices are lower.

  • IF we need them so badly (farming), then they would have no trouble surviving without my tax dollars.

  • ♥ ❤ Sallie James ♥ ❤ 

  • If money weren't collected by force, nobody could be bothered to grow + sell food, to ..you know live.

    That makes perfect sense.

  • I wanna do her

  • I don't think David was captain of the debate team in high school. He thinks he can dismiss James' argument because Cato receives money from companies that will benefit from eliminating subsidies. You can't argue in favor of something that will benefit you. So I guess it's a good thing David doesn't benefit from subsidies. Oh wait! He does. What a jackass

  • A rational, intelligent woman? Maybe I need to move to Australia to find a Sallie James type

  • @capitalist4life Absolutely. The food would probably go up in price for a short term, but then would likely settle below current levels.

    Subsidies are evil.

  • I am reminded of my favorite Johny Carson Tonight Show program when the best farmer in the country was his guest. Carson asked him about subsidies and taking government advice. The farmer said, he listens very carefully to their offers, the requirements they have to live with if they take the subsidies, and the advice they give generally. Then I decline the subsidies and do the exact opposite of what they advise. That's the secret of my success.
