A lot of little farmers would go broke, banks would be repossessing land with falling value. John Deere, IH, Cat would all be losing sales and laying off. People on welfare don't pay much in taxes.

"Abolish the Ag Dept!" should be the cry.

I thought we "abolished" farm subsidies in the Clinton Admin. They seem to be like dandelions. They keep popping up.

I used to be gung-ho about cutting down the Dept of Ag, the ultimate wasteful government agency. I gave up wasting my breath.
