You might consider Farm welfare under the Bush regime's tenure, and explain how that fits your theory.

My one-minute reply is that it fits just fine. When it was for small farmers it was a New Deal program, but no longer...

Google search:

"In 2001, Fortune 500 companies and large agribusinesses shattered previous farm subsidy records, while small family farmers saw their share of the subsidy pie shrink."

"Legislators promoting subsidies take advantage of the popular misconception that farm subsidies exist to stabilize the incomes of poor family farmers who are at the mercy of unpredictable weather and crop prices."

So it goes; back to work.
