In short he doesn't support the subsidies, but he still thinks it's a great idea that deserves federal support.

The 5% Project

Obama, Clinton, McCain -- they all pander, just to different groups.  Actually, McCain told Youngstown he was for NAFTA and he told Indiana he was against farm subsidies, so I guess there are some issues he isn't pandering on.

MyCane seems to be calling for reducing the mandates, not the tax credits.  Eliminating the tax credits would have a far bigger and better effect on easing the current food price crisis.
