Political Factoid
Despite the worst drought in 50 years,
2012 saw U.S. farmers* headed for

... thanks to taxpayer subsidized
crop insurance payments that
compensate for their crop losses.
Another sector of special interest businesses that
has virtually no risk, thanks to government subsidies.
And they call that capitalism and free
market?
