When other businesses can't hack it, we let them go bankrupt and do something more productive. Why do farmers get treated any differently?

Because it's in the national interest to not let them go bankrupt (because without food you die).

This is scaremongering. Oh noez, we'll all die unless this group gets a bailout from Uncle Sugar.

Sometimes "victims" have been looking for some consequences for quite a while. Poke a bear long enough to be hurt, don't be surprised people blame you, "the victim".
