you cant
you cant choose who you subsidize
you are subsidising the crop, not the farmer
this is why there's corn ethanol in your gasoline btw
gotta do something with those doritos that werent
the farmers must be aware of the dangers of monocropping though, are they doing anything about it?
most farmers are up to their fucking eyeballs in debt
oh dang
all they CAN worry about is making payments
arent the farmers also the ones that demand subsities from their representatives?
well yeah, its gibs
but everyone wants gibs from their reps
you gonna vote for someone who says 'fuck this state we live in im going to washington and when they start handing out money im not gonna ask for a cent to help our people out'
its not like your state rep is up on capitol hill with a gun robbing the government
heres the amount of money the government is going to spend on the states this year, you want some of this money or nah?
its money the government has collected from your citizens as tax, after all
shits complicated man
yeah
i dont even know what to think of this problem
other than that our subisities are fucked up
realistically, you want your rep to ask for money to go to good causes, instead of bridges to nowhere
but do you want a rep who doesnt bring home ANY new jobs or money, or ones that bring home some jobs and money
the first one is a bad husband, divorce him
I feel like our country is just too big, nobody cares any more, they just want a slice of the money
well, yeah, but thats human history
dunbar's number is a thing
perhaps if states had greater control this would be less of a problem
instead of the federal governemnt taking the money and then giving it back in such a messy process
my people tried that idea a while back
:dixie:
i think that the small government conservative states rights folks definitely have it closer to correct than the alternatives, but no system is perfect
no system is immune from bad constituents I guess
its incredibly hard to vote with your feet these days though, and that is one of the appeals of states rights
dont like what the state's doing? move to one that better aligns with your views
but man thats an expensive suggestion
but moving away from the federal government is alot harder
yeah, sort of
this has been extremely informative so far
