Some subsidies that we would all like to see:

If we can pay farmers to leave their field idle and be able to justify it then we should suggest subsidies to the non farm population.

Lets try a few.

1) A subsidy to lawyers that promise not to practice law. (higher fees for the rest)

2) A subsidy to active traders that promise to quit trading. (This could drive prices higher)

4) A subsidy to truck drivers that take their trucks off the road. ( less polution)

Probably a few more that I missed.

ADM is not on my list of favorite citizens. Without them we probably wouldn't put ethanol in gasoline at all.
