One thing I super love about my conservative rancher/farmer dad is that he hates subsidies and actively campaigns against them. "Why would Lebron and Kobe want the rest of the league to be able to use flubber?"
Also, he lives for recessions. They are "an opportunity to excel" and "thin out the herd".

felix, you are killing it today. I think it is crazy to think that all farmers are for subsidies. They are not. Some of you will think this is way off topic, but I think it is similar to rex's point in that some farmers hate GMO's (ie. RoundUp Ready), as this technology has helped some pretty crappy farmers be "good" farmers.
ftr, I am from a farm family and I am against subsidies. I think I'd like felix's dad.
