You want to rely on other countries for food? We are the country others rely on for food.

No one relies on one country for food -there's always another place to buy it from.

Without subsidies, farmers would plant only what yields the most profit, not what the public needs. Why plant spinach when you can make more planting corn for fuel, or pot for drug users?

They will just bring back rent control. That's what they did years ago.

We’re currently subsidizing single parent homes with out of wedlock children so this is on par for the course.

Liberals want more power and this is how they get it, making you believe beaurecrats are the only ones who can save, feed, and house you by legislating you out of poverty with someone else’s money.

I’m waiting for my reparations check any day now from white guilt liberals.

So you agree with that nonsense? That renters are more important than farmers? Okay.

I am for insuring that every single solitary leftist stuck in California stays in California.


I am happy to see any non-leftists escape that carphole.

Why are farmers getting subsidized, when obesity is a problem?

I would say neither need subsidizing.

Why are children subsidized??? I don't think people who consume more in government services should get a tax break for creating more of the same? Parents should pay MORE in taxes until their kids can earn enough to pay their own.

Yes, they need to keep that stupid nonsense within California's own tax base only.

That’s because you haven’t really thought it through.
