This reminds me of agricultural subsidies/tariffs. The federal government props up comparatively innefficient farming practices here in the U.S. at the expense of third world farmers (take sugar, for example). I can't remember the exact statistic (and am too lazy to use Google before heading to bed), but if they just paid each farmer something like $200,000 to do absolutely nothing, everyone would be better off. The U.S. farmers would get a free check, the third world farmers would make more money, and we (the consumers) would end up paying less for sugar. Classic…in the bad sense.
