Message | Because we got rid of expensive and stupid subsidies that are not needed. If farmers can produce food at a cheap price, it will sell, no need to take money away from important areas and spend it on food. Subsidising farmers leads to inefficiency and rising prices. |

Message | Modern farmers can't live from what they produce. That's because of all the import. But we need our own farmers, in case of emergency... |
Date | 20:07:12, June 28, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Alcoholic Par-tay | To | Debating the Agricultural Bill |
Message | No. Subsidising a doomed industry is crueler than denying a subsidy, it punishes those who are better at farming. |
