Moenmac, combining the two exceeds giving by any other nation. Not in real terms. Not as a percentage of GDP.

It would be better to not interfere in capitalism by subsidizing that wheat to begin with... or tobacco... or mohair, etc. That way it wouldn't be 'rotting in silos' to begin with. (Of course, we should still use a BIG Stick with other nations [France, Germany, Japan] who subsidize and corrupt the markets as well.) As to "I think if you look, you will find that American private charitable donations make up for any perceived deficit on the part of the government. And combining the two exceeds giving by any other nation." >>> Nope, it does not, not even close. (Not measured as a percent of national income.)
