Stockman backs free market stance against farm subsidies
President-elect Reagan's pick Rep. David Stockman signals strong skepticism toward new subsidies. In a 1978 letter he lambasted USDA rescue of Idaho potatoes, calling for leadership against parochial claims and urging market based reform. He argued agriculture is now capitalized and commercial, not a poverty ridden exception.
