It is a point I would make.
btw, Not every program is supposed to benefit e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e. that kind of thinking would be silly.
But should the government be in the business of creating programs that help a small minority to the detriment of everyone else? I'm sorry, but I find destroying perfectly good food and slaughtering animals for no reason while the people suffer to be silly.
your premise: to the detriment. bad
if crops were subject to supply and demand an farmers went out of business and the farm economy collapsed. more people would be hurt for longer. and the US would lose big r=time.
the fact that people go without and the destroyed crops could be used (oh wait they are in some cases -- government surplus food... my bad, and yours). ...............
you are mixing issues. the national government has a duty to protect the union.
Your notion that the national government has no duty here is wrongheaded. The federal government's responsibility is to keeping the union from being dissolved by 'angry vindictive persons.'. -Jefferson's buddy Justice Johnson
What this dreck amounts to is basically saying that the Confederate slaves had it good, because they were given a bare minimum of food, shelter, clothing and medical care, in return for their lifetime of "service" to the plantationers.Despising the New Deal & hating FDR while your immediate family benefited...
What does one make of people who despise the policies of the New Deal & hate FDR while their immediate family benefited from either or both?
The disconnect suggest being an ingrate or worse, but is it more complicated? Is the disconnect caused by the phenomena of people going with a group identity over self interest?

And why is this relevant?

Does the New Deal ever realize its 2010?
No, they got worthless script that wasn't redeemable on demand for lawful specie.
Speaking of re-writing history.
farm families were not helped by the general policies of FDR or by the New Deal specifically? I wonder what state your family lived in.My immediate family didn't benefit from the "Raw Deal", they lived on farms and didn't do any of the public works jobs or anything but it was a sign of the times, government creates programs, people are basically forced to go on these programs and anyone who bitches about it is a hypocrite.
So benefiting from a program and bitching about it is not hypocrisy?
Name the program your family or someone you know was forced -- forced to enroll in.
Yeah, they did something to get taken for a ride...They surrendered their gold to the highwayman FDR.

The program for buyback included getting $20.67 for every troy ounce.
They could have recieved it in cash.

I DO live in TN and use the TVA's electricity and still think the idea sucks. Does that make me a hypocrite because I won't turn off my lights and live in the dark?
I don't think so.
