    The article doesn\’t state it clearly, but I wonder if these payments and sets-asides were/are crop insurance subsidies or plain, outright give aways. Is our government subsidizing our farmers, who could (and perhaps should) be buying crop insurance?

    If I don\’t buy insurance and my property is damaged by a hurricane, can I get the US government to pay for my losses? If so, please tell me about this, so I can drop any windstorm coverage I might have to pay for otherwise.
