[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 940945, member: 2189"] I 2nd your film suggestion. Very much worth the watch. Dairy lobby is just as bad. Go to the National Dairy Council website and read how much they [URL="http://www.nationaldairycouncil.org/EducationMaterials/HealthProfessionalsEducationKits/Pages/WIC.aspx"][COLOR=#ff0000]promote WIC.[/COLOR][/URL] And more on that point, [URL="http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/03_09/b3822081.htm"][COLOR=#ff0000]from 2003' Bloomberg piece[/COLOR][/URL] You guys scream about gov't growth in social programs but you never realize those programs lead to profits and where there are profits you want growth to keep the profits rolling in. Cato's 2009' study on [URL="http://www.downsizinggovernment.org/agriculture/food-subsidies"][COLOR=#ff0000]Food Subsidies [/COLOR][/URL]IMO paints that picture very clear. Statist Liberals never realize for example that in their zeal to supposedly help the downtrodden, they in effect build up the very 1% they scream and protest against. If both the statist left and right would shut the ":censored:" up long enough to listen, they'd hear the corp socialist capitalism crying out the whole time, "please don't throw me in that briar patch!" followed by uncontrolled laughter. These gov't programs also absorb excess production which acts as a price support for said products on the open markets which keeps consumer prices up. Even medicare and medicaid act as a price floor because the law specifically sez any doctor treating those covered patients can never charge less that the agreed to gov't price to any other patient even if the circumstances benefit patient and/or doctor. The fact is, corp. capitalism has been using gov't socialism as a price floor that they use to boost profits as far back as FDR if not before and thus I reject that said capitalism of which hides behind free market rhetoric.
