Saunders Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 The difference being that I doubt that the federal government is paying 62% of your car insurance premiums and administrative costs. They are paying those for crop insurance premiums like BRBs. (The welfare queen! ) My post was directed at the ironic statement he made regarding insurance in general. Link to comment

Someone Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Just because a person is paying premiums for insurance, doesn't mean that the cost is of the premiums collected is appropriate relative to the cost of the collective benefits being paid out. Link to comment
carlfense Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 My post was directed at the ironic statement he made regarding insurance in general. Ah . . . but I think the point is that the premiums paid by all farmers for crop insurance aren't enough to cover the benefits paid out. Not individually. Collectively. Link to comment
Junior Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 People getting subsidies for health insurance = bad. People getting subsidies for crop insurance = good. 3 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 People getting subsidies for health insurance = bad. People getting subsidies for crop insurance = good. Actually, if people would calm down a little and stop reading into posts what isn't there, (Carl)I am all for restructuring all ag programs so that there are no subsidies unless there is a crisis. And, that is the same way I look at social programs also. There should be a minimal level of support when it truly is needed. Other than that, farmers shouldn't be getting subsidies. Now, normally I wouldn't even think that should be there for an industry except I look at farming in the US as a national security issue also. We have the best and most reliable source of food in the world. We need to make sure that stays that way. We don't need subsidies when corn is $7. Link to comment

I can't hear your logical arguments over the sound of your welfare. Link to comment
