Should the US do away with farm subsidies altogether?
Opinion # 1Many people have suggested that eliminating farm subsidies would assist in balancing the budget. While I support gradual long-term elimination of subsidies in favor of a normalized market and privatized crop insurance, I also believe most of these same people have an unrealistic view of the potential savings. The sequester we are currently experiencing is approximately $85 billion, while eliminating all farm subsidies including federal crop insurance would only save about $18 billion. Furthermore, in the interests of fair play, if we choose to dump crop insurance we should also dump federal flood insurance and disaster assistance. Let's see how that would play out with the liberals. If we drop non-insurance subsidies, we would only save about $6 billion in actual commodity payments. There you go, folks -- we saved a grand total of 0.16% of the federal budget.
