Topia!: Society: Issues: Economic: Price Controls and Subsidies (9)
Subsidies and Sustainable Development - Hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies now harm the economy, the environment, equity and trade: measures to cut the waste of public money and resources and to promote sustainable development. (author André de Moor has a degree in economics) The Cash Croppers - Report, based on the gigantic EWG Farm Subsidy Database, of few, incredibly wealthy, who receive most of the Farm Subsidies, an outdated program for keeping food prices high which was created during the 1930s and is painted as if it protects small farmers. Farmer's Union - National Farmer's Union actively opposes large government spending on multi-national agri-busineses and advocates for family owned farms. How Rent Control Drives Out Affordable Housing - Rent control has been in force in a number of major American cities for many decades. The best-known example is New York, which still retains rent controls from the temporary price controls imposed during World War II. But this policy, meant to assist poorer residents, harms far more citizens than it helps, benefits the better-off, and limits the freedom of all citizens. Time To Condemn Subsidized Housing - An article which sites MANY sources who say subsidized housing causes harm, not good. Corporate Welfare Information Center - Site full of information on government subsidies of corporations, which add up to hundreds of billions. The True Size of Government - Article discusses the actual size of the United States Federal workforce. Broken Ladder: Government Thwarts Affordable Housing - From all appearances, federal policy on affordable housing is facing its most searching reassessment in decades. As housing policy comes up for reauthorization in Congress, the decades-old approach of housing low-income tenants in massive housing projects has few defenders in Washington.
