Speaking of govt subsidies, there would be a hell of a lot more food for the
rest of the world if farmers were'nt paid to let their fields lie fallow
(to keep the price of corn, soy beans, etc. at an acceptable level for the
other farmers).

Of course, it would be bad business to just grow something in those fields
and have the govt buy it and ship it somewhere... Can't be having the
productive give any sustenance to those less fortunate, now can we???

Pardon my cynical state of mind, but if the CMP (capitalist mode of
production) is so da*n efficient, why does this kind of under-production
occur?
