I'd have thought the fall of the Soviet Union would have taught us that central planning is destructive, but the conceit of the central planners lives on. Maybe the problem isn't merely economic ignorance. Maybe it's something more sinister: a wish to keep the freeloading system going.
After all, if politicians and business leaders admit that government cannot play a constructive role in the economy, what grounds would there be for subsidies, shelter from competitors and other privileges at the people's expense? The anti-free-market ideology is a vast rationalization for favoritism.
What grabbed my attention was $50,000.00 to an African American who had attempted farming! "Attempted", mind you - throwing around a little fertilizer in your front yard would satisfy the government's definition of an "attempt at farming". I am not African American, but I grow produce on my parcel of land - and work extremely hard at it. Around here, that $50,000 could buy you 40 acres and a mule (or a good used tractor).

So, only AAs attempt farming and get government backing?

How about Jon Bon Jovi and the Boss getting huge tax breaks because they have a few bee hives on their property?
