This subject always makes me laugh. On one side is the guy getting the subsidies who thinks they are great and on the other side is the guy who isn't getting/taking them who thinks they are evil.
One of my SIL's is an electrical engineer who works for a large corporation. They have (the company) been getting paid by the government to have people setting around in a think tank coming up with ideas. Ideas that they develop and then try to sell....to the government. Well I think that if this company wants to stay at the top of it's game they should pay to come up with the ideas themselves. But no, money got cut so they laid a bunch of people off. Now it's a maybe if they can stay competitive. That's what killed Hostess. They couldn't compete. That's why other companies move stuff off shore.

Prices the start up guy right out of a dream. FYI we do not feed the world. Not even close. We import a lot of food to include meat and milk. If we truly fed the world the only foods we would import would be foods that can't, because of climate be grown here.
