Why are people in the US so concerned about farm subsidies when they account for such a small percentage of the total federal budget?
Even a small percentage of the total US federal budget can still be a fairly large sum of money, and subsidies amount to paying people to literally refrain from doing something productive.There are reasons that doing this could be beneficial overall, but it still bothers some people that the US is spending taxpayer money on something that has the perceived net effect of making their food cost more.AnswerThe above response is a good example of the poor job we in agriculture are doing in educating the public. The kind of subsidies the above author refers to in the phrase,"refrain from doing something productive" were phased out years ago and replaced with programs which require the farmer to do something in return. The Conservation Reserve Program requires farmers to establish conservation plantings in areas not planted to the crops they normally would plant in order to conserve soil. Federal crop insurance programs might be something of a subsidy in that farmers pay a discounted rate for crop insurance which is also available from most carriers, just at a higher rate. The agency must still carry on the program the same way a regular carrrier would, just with no profit as such. The concept addressed in the original question is one of a matter of just this lack of education. The entire budget of the US Department of Agriculture is less than 4% of the total federal budget, and the amount devoted to farm and commodity programs is less than 2/3 of 1% of the federal budget, yet people prefer to focus on these things, rather than the fact that 70% of the USDA budget is for nutrition programs, mainly food stamps. If you want to focus on a particular problem, why not the federal debt which is now nearly four times the entire federal annual budget? No regular business would ever survive under that kind of debt load, yet our politicians continue to increase it with hardly a passing thought.

What are the three branches of the federal gov and what are their primary responsibilities?
The executive (the President and the administrative branches) The Legislative (The House of Representatives and the Seante) The Judicial. The Supreme court and the Federal courts. The executive branch carries out the day to day operations of the government, enforces laws, oversees the operation of the military and disperses funds to run the various branches of government. The legislative enacts laws, oversees and investigates the operation of the administrative branch when problems occur, and decides how much the government is going to spend ( the budget) and decides how much tax to levy. The Supreme court decides matters of constitutionality (like they are doing now with the Affordable Care Act) and oversees the operation of the lower Federal courts. The Lower Federal courts are where matters of law at the Federal level are first brought.
