I'm not sure what you mean by vague hyp. We have a fairly exhaustive amount of agricultural subsidies, used for various reasons, three of which being to "normalize" production, the prevent shortages in staple food crops, and to artificially reduce the price of food to make it more available to the consumer (though we still have welfare programs to help families reach this lowered bar). What would the libertarian response to the amount of power and authority of government in agriculture be? I'm not arguing that the ag subsidies aren't a mess, but they do address concerns which are very real.
My issue regarding subsidies is that its very easy to criticize the program on ideological grounds, but if one really wanted to remove that type of government interference there has to be some plan to achieve the benefits that the current system provides to us all.
