Take a look at the US Agricultural Omnibus Bill...if the US stopped subsidising the "most efficient" agricultural industry in the world there would be more than enough public money to assist industries most affected by this tragedy.
When major sports stars and business leaders receive 100's of thousands of dollars in agricultural subsidies then it's time for a rethink.
Just think of the positive political effect it would have globally...and especially in poor countries if they didn't have to compete against the worl's most subsidised agricultural industry...
FWIW
