With the current high food prices, US taxpayers will be pleased to know that they will spend about 4 billion this year on ensuring the farmers don't grow too much food (this total is up from last year due to the inflation reduction act)
- alephnerd 2y agoSo be it. Votes talk, and neither party has margins to risk.
- willcipriano 2y agoThey don't care about votes outside of the swing states. They care about the people who have been getting those billions for decades spending a small portion of it against them. Also they are concerned for their family members who happen to be upstanding people who landed in great jobs at charities owned by the people who get the billions to not feed people.
- randomdata 2y ago> With the current high food prices High prices? 2022 is but a distant memory now. As a farmer, I haven't seen food prices this low, nominally, since the bottom of the mid-2010s crash, and if you account for inflation it doesn't look like food has ever been as cheap as it is right now! Perhaps you mean the current high price of convenience? It does seem the grocery stores keep pushing prices higher even as the price of food keeps going down, down, down.
