SCOTUS gets one correct

[Everskyward]

EDIT: I think I see the source of misunderstanding. In post #30 you said, "...opinion of Horne." In post #37 it looks like you mean (different) opinion of the program.

If you listen to the podcast you'll see that they had different opinion of Horne too. One farmer called him a crook and hired a PD to film him shipping his raisins.

As far as people having different opinions, it's usually one side vs. another as in farmers vs. the government. In this case it was farmers who were in a similar situation against each other.

Then there's the irony that the government goes after collusion and price fixing within industries in many other circumstances.

If you can't compete, you don't belong in the business.

Why should consumers have to pay inflated prices for a product just to keep them in business?

Perhaps some consumers value things other than lowest price -- locally grown, sustainably farmed, organic..? You know, all the left coast gobbledygook.

Then, let them choose it, don't force higher prices upon them.

Well, of course many of the farmers were pizzed off. They had been sitting by and letting Uncle Sugar take half their crop every year with no compensation because the law said they had to.

Meanwhile, Horne was generating double their revenue per acre. That's not fair competition in their eyes either.
