Milk subsidy criticized as costly and ineffective policy
The War Food Administration plans a subsidy of 25 to 50 cents per hundred pounds of milk to keep production up without raising consumer prices. Critics argue subsidies mask shortages, harm consumers, and replace simple price adjustments, noting rising feed costs and declining dairy profitability under price ceilings. They warn subsidies would cost 150 to 300 million dollars annually and distract from true supply and demand dynamics.
