8.Current farm policy is institutionalized penalization of consumers. It increases food prices for middle- and low-income families and costs the taxpayer billions of dollars a year.
消費者(consumers)既是家計單位(families)也是納稅人(tax payers)
I. Farm subsidies amount to roughly $20 billion a year in federal payouts(政府支出來源就是納稅人的錢) and $12 billion more in higher food prices(物價提高使得家計單位支出提高).
II. According to a study by the Department of Agriculture, each $1 of benefits provided to farmers for ethanol production costs consumers and taxpayers $4.
補助農夫1元會造成消費者和納稅人4元的支出
