Our socialized agriculture policy is shameful. And it is devastating to many farmers in the rest of the world. What is striking is this: in Communist Laos, the farmers there receive no subsidies. They are at the mercy of market forces and our subsidies. The good news for them is that rice prices have doubled in the last year. Maybe they can afford to educated their children now. But those farmers not growing rice are still facing hardships that most Americans can only imagine. Thank you, Jimmie, for bringing this up. Our socialized agriculture policy is shameful.
