Question
**Explaining the Impact of a US Subsidy for Domestic Corn Farmers**

This diagram outlines how a US subsidy for domestic corn farmers can affect different groups within the economy. Each group is impacted in distinct ways:

1. **Domestic Consumers (US Consumers):**
   - **Impact:** Benefit from an increased supply of cheaper corn.
   - **Consideration:** The funds for subsidies come from taxpayer dollars, potentially affecting the production of other products.

2. **Foreign Producers:**
   - **Impact:** Face unfair competition as they cannot compete with the artificially lowered prices of corn due to subsidies.

3. **Domestic Producers:**
   - **Impact:** Experience reduced costs of production, enabling them to supply more corn.

4. **US Government:**
   - **Impact:** Gains from providing support to US producers.
   - **Consideration:** Subsidies can create long-term political and economic challenges, as they are difficult to remove.

Each group in the economy responds differently to government subsidies, reflecting a balance of economic benefits and challenges.
