"Some say total farm subsidies could top $40 billion this year. The Times says the figure may be as high as $46 billion. Either figure would be a record."
That's not evidence, it's opinion. In any case, how much is being spent on the PPP loans and handouts to businesses and individuals and how much added to unemployment benefits? You don't cite that data. Is the government giving money to people not involved in agriculture? If memory serves, many $trilions have been and will continue to be spent on handouts to the American public, as well as the undocumented illegal aliens streaming across our southern border. Are you likewise appalled at that spending?
