Re: USA FArm Subsidies.Socialism? Corporate welfare?

More on Subsidies:
Europe
EU farm subsidies face sweeping review — EUbusiness.com - business, legal and financial news and information from the European Union

India:
International Political Economy Zone: US Farm Subsidies "Good" for India?

India flip flops (different source) and Brazil joins in on the cry:
Brazil, India urge developed countries to slash farm subsidies - International Herald Tribune

India again (more recently)
Baru calls for softening of India's stance on US, EU farm subsidies - Yahoo! India News

I guess the basic point is no one knows if the subsidy impact is really that important on the 'global' scale. People with no money cant buy food now and still wont be able to buy food if its more expensive.

And the reality is, the amount of my tax subsidy that went to milk, or corn, or wheat is much less of my gross income than what its turning out to be when subsidies are removed. And the poor in developing countries still cant buy milk, or corn, or rice.
