Why is raisin policy important?
It's a waste of government money to keep a raisin reserve.
Plus, it increases the price of food. The net effect is a transfer of wealth from poor people to agribusiness that grow and process raisins..
How much waste? This seems like a very insignificant thing to focus on. How much of a waste would it need to be to qualify as "important"?
It's a tiny slice of the huge agrar budget. Criticising individual parts of it is a way to fight it.
Criticize the large slices, if they're unneeded. Don't criticize the small ones as a way of getting people to not like the large ones (if this is an uncharitable interpretation, tell me).
