Yep Just like Tobacco, the government pays to not have the it planted( No Till). then keeps paying for the medical treatments for those that get cancer from it. instead of telling them to plant corn. Then they push for bio -fuel from corn ( Corn oil) without increasing the planting of corn , results higher price for corn , less for the food chain , prices of feed and flower go up , and that chicken will cost more, more demand , price of chicken will go up in the supermarket, This the government call progress!

You suggested the 6 gazillion dollar toilet seat was because they used the money for black operations. I'm telling you it isn't because those seats are what it would have cost on the open market. Anyone that has ever had custom fabriaction done knows it's not cheap when you're only making a few items.
