This isn't like the subsidies where farmers are paid not to produce so the price stays artificially high. It's to support an industry that's been operating in the red. I guess I'd rather see that happening than to see us start to import milk from Mexico.

But like the article said, $350 mil is chump change. How much good can it really do?
