And a little healthy capitalism in the end, which is good for thought for how we do subsidies here:
“Subsidies, and more precisely the way they were implemented, effectively destroyed Greek agriculture and livestock farming,” argues Arsenos. “A subsidy should be a tool for growth and not a motivation for idle minds. No form of subsidy should be given out in an uncontrolled and horizontal fashion, as was the case in the past, but only under specific conditions that are linked to the quantity and quality of the product being produced.”
How novel. The sheep in Congress should take notice rather than lining the pockets of their friends.
