Loading ...In my view the government is and has been trying to avoid a natural deflationary financial collapse like 1929.
As for paying them to plow them under? That’s a typical common “make work” thing or welfare jobs. Like infrastructure and green jobs.
And like so many unneeded welfare electronic parts, in cars and air planes that often cause trouble. They are constantly creating unnecessary man hours, labor and material needs to keep billions of people working 40 hours a week.
Also destroying the crops stops farmers from cheating and putting the crops on the market for sale. Also we have countries on welfare. Shutting down a pipeline or a farm makes us import food and oil from other countries so they can make money on us.
Does anybody remember Cash For Clunkers??? Is everyone sleeping? The government paid people $3-$4,000 for older USA made cars and SUVs that were worth $5-$800. Then when traded in, they forced the dealership to pour some crap down the high reving engine to ruin the engine and junk the cars.
We the people were not even allowed to buy some extremely high quality SUVs for resale. I took a ride behind the local Toyota dealership. Hundreds of good American cars ready for recycling. Welfare for Japan and other countries as we shut down American production.
high prices for food is good so you get food. Low prices people go out of business then no food.
