The US subsidizes the supply side and the demand side. On the demand side, the US spends about $100B on SNAP (food stamps) and another $40B on subsidies for WIC (women infants children) and school lunches. On the supply side, the US is currently directly subsidizing farms $20B and giving disaster relief to the tune of another $30B. If you want to imagine how well the free market in the US would do, just think about what would happen if Congress cut off those funds. | ||
