That could be misleading. If their including subsidies to huge agricultural conglomerates, the money would appear to be going to North Dakota but it's really going to the owners in the NYC, Chicago, L A, etc.

More likely a condo or mistress or something like that. Or maybe they could donate it to a worthy cause...and take the tax deduction at the Federal level.

And they can do what displaced rural people have always done - move to the city. Thus completing the cycle of life.
