...Another pillar of the budget’s fiscal reforms proposes to eliminate federal subsidies to farmers with sales revenues in excess of $500,000 per year and cap total individual subsidies for farmers at $250,000. Combined with other agricultural subsidy cuts, this would reduce farm subsidy expenditures by about $2 billion annually. This potential savings would be a boon for taxpayers. Furthermore, the inefficient subsidies currently create a price floor—a minimum price above market equilibrium—which artificially inflates prices, hurting American consumers...

Lately, efforts to bring computers to youth in developing areas have been assaulted as ineffective, or even worse—impulsively imperialistic. Last month, One Laptop per Child—an NGO aiming to provide a $150 laptop to very child in the world—suffered major production setbacks, laid off half of its employees, and came under heavy fire for supposedly misjudging the needs of youth in the developing world from the get-go.
