As a farmer, the answer is obvious to me. But I’m genuinely curious if the average person thinks the government is only subsidizing the meat and dairy industry?

I can’t speak to the average person because I’m on WSB and thus below average intelligence.

I do, however, know that the federal government creates massive market inefficiencies in farming, healthcare, pharma, and higher education.

As a person with common sense, I genuinely wonder if people really think it could ever be cheaper to raise a fucking cow to slaughter than grow some soybeans.

It's not cheaper, you're just pre-paying for it with your taxes
