Bill Moyers Journal. Farm Subsidies and America’s Hungry

Description

As food prices skyrocket and millions go hungry in America, why are tax dollars being spent on farmers who don’t farm? Teaming up with the PBS series Exposé: America’s Investigative Reports, Bill Moyers Journal sheds light on more than $15 billion in “wasteful, unnecessary, or redundant expenditures” that have flowed from Washington to America’s farmers. Then, Bill Moyers looks at shortages in America’s food banks and speaks with David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World, about the challenges of combating hunger and the new farm bill being negotiated in Congress.
