Topic 7: Government Farm Subsidies



         I think that the action of the politicians to give farmers subsidies is just a way to get votes. Since according to the video, usually the subsidies go to the rich farmers, and also the subsidies will harm some of the farm business and force them to choose other job. I might sound good to get more and more subsidies from governments but in fact, the truth is that it might just harm more and more poor farmers to leave for a better job to survive.
        To explain in another way, according to the video, when the reporter kept asking why didn’t the politicians wants to also help the farmers for their other things, like some subsides other than farm use, the politicians either didn’t or barely answer the question.
        We can see this in a same way for college. Colleges and universities, including private ones, receive many benefits from the government. In my opinion, it is necessary to get some benefits from the government, but the amount should be appropriate since like the farmers. If some certain colleges get too much benefits from the governments, some of the poor colleges might end up can’t compete with other and close, which the gap between poor colleges and rich colleges will be bigger and bigger.
