Not only do they subsidize the food, they then destroy the surplus to keep prices high. I think I heard that somewhere. It could be false.

Is it the duty of the US government to drive down world food prices with taxpayer funds though?

I don't think they do that [destroying surpluses] anymore. They used to, at least in the EU.
