Howdy, Does anybody think that the amount or pattern of support for farm subsidies would change if the average American were "better informed?" (I know, I know, "better informed" is awfully value laden and implies a Philistine-ish public, I'm just not sure how to phrase it.) By better info I mean deeper understanding of int'l trade economics along with more complete knowledge of amounts spent and the patterns of spending and per capita costs, etc. (And anything else you feel is important.)

Michael Moore, in an episode of his show "TV Nation" went to Newt Gingrich's home district during a 4th of July parade. He first joined the parade carrying a sign denouncing "big government" and got cheers. He changed his sign so that it denounced federally funded local projects and was kicked out of the parade. While I'm not a big M. Moore fan, that stunt was a bit revealing....
