timebusinessowners,butCarolynBartlett says theircareers trained themwiththe skills theyneed to suc-ceed.Rod, 36,worked as anassistantmanager atKunaAutoRepair andhasworkedon andoff atBrowns for thepast eight years.Carolyn, 28,workspart-time as anAvonrepresentative and isnear-ing completion of a businessmanagement and account-ing degree fromStevens-HenagerCollege thathaspreparedher tohandle thefront-of-the-shoppartof thebusiness.TheBartletts are the

fourthownersofBrownsAutoRepair since itopened

W elfare is ahot top-ic amongpolicy-makers atboth thenational and state levels.Thequestion is:Whosewel-fare isofmost concern tothese policymakers?ManyRepublican leaders

are calling for large-scale re-formof individualwelfareprograms such as foodstamps andMedicaid.Suchreforms arenotoften cou-pledwith anequallyneces-sary reformof corporatewelfare.Corporatewelfare isde-

fined as any governmentsupportor subsidyof pri-vatebusiness, such as a taxincentive.Numerous indus-tries andbusiness groups re-ceive some formof assis-tance fromeither federal orstate governmentprograms.Formany corporations it isperfectly sensible to spend aportion of their annual oper-atingbudgeton lobbyistsand campaign contributionsjust tokeep these prefer-ences going.Economic theory andevi-

dence showthis is tremen-douswaste for society.Thebranchof economic

study known aswelfare eco-nomics showshowtax in-centives, subsidies andoth-er industrypreferences re-sult in anoverall loss to theeconomy.Tounderstandthisproblem, consider firsta competitivemarket.In amarketwhere there

aremanybuyers and sellerswith the freedom to comeorgo as theyplease, the equi-libriumpricewillmakeeveryone aswell off aspos-

sible.Buyerswhowant theproduct at thatpricemakethepurchase.Thosewhodonot, dont.This freemarketdirects a goodor service tothebuyerswhovalue itmosthighly, asmeasuredbytheirwillingness topay.Similarly, sellers in com-

petitivemarkets are thosewho canproduce theprod-uct at a costbelowthe goingprice.Those firms that cantwill notbe in themarket.Thus, the freemarket allo-cates the goingdemand forany goodor service only tothosebusinesses that canproduce it at the lowest cost.Corporatewelfaremess-

es this allup.Tax incentives, subsidies

orpreferential treatmentkeep inefficient firms afloat,and/or increase the returnto capital in an industrywhere it isnotneeded.Thissecondproblem, capitalflowing toonly certain in-dustries, can slow economicgrowth.Capital that couldbe going tonew, innovativeindustries is tiedup in alower returnproductorservice.To reduce corporatewel-

fare, policymakers inWash-

ington andhere in Idahoshould startwith theEx-port-ImportBankof theUnitedStates. In 2008,BarackObama called thisgovernmentprogram littlemore than a fund for corpo-ratewelfare.TheCongressionalBudg-

etOffice estimates that theExport-ImportBank coststaxpayers about $200mil-lion ayear even though itearns intereston the loans itmakes tovarious corpora-tions.What theCBOanaly-sisdoesnot account for isthepossibilityofmisdirect-ed capital capital thatcouldbe going tonew, inno-vative industries is tieduplower-returnbusinesses.According to theExport-

ImportBanksdata, since2007 Idahohas receivedmore than $172million incorporate subsidies.Morethanhalf of thismoney goesthroughGeorgeF.Brocke&Sons Inc. ofKendrick tosubsidize our agriculturalexports.Arentourpotatoes and

other commodities goodenough?Ifwe dontwant the gov-

ernmentmeddling in ourother affairs, like landman-agement,we shouldnt askfor theirhelp selling ourstuff.True reform starts at

I daho agriculture con-tributesover $18billionto the statesGDP, so itsno surprise that Idahopoliti-cians are interested in theindustry.Agriculture is apartofbudgetdiscussions,environmentalquality as-sessments andwildlifeman-agementpolicies.Thispastyear Idaho aghas gottenevenmore attention afterpassage of the ag-gag law.I tried explaining this leg-

islation tomy kids.Theythought the lawwas tokeeppeople fromhurting ani-mals. Ihad to clarify that al-though thatshowthewholediscussion started, this leg-islationwill neitherpreventanimals fromgetting hurtnorpunish thosewhodo the

hurting. Its really a lawagainst trespassing andwillserve only topunishwhistleblowers.Acoalitionoforganiza-

tions ischallenging the lawon thebasis that ithindersfreespeechand that thepun-ishment for thecrime isworse than thepenalty forharminganimals.However,

its tooeasy tocalloutpropo-nentsof this lawasadvocatesofanimalcruelty.Animalsarethe livelihoodofdairymenandcattle ranchers,anditmakesnosense for them tomistreat theiranimals.Iunderstandhowthe

dairy industry is looking atthis.A thirdpartywithvideo or audio recordingscan too easily twist the situ-ation andunfairlyhurt thebusiness.As a formerboardmember forPlannedParent-hoodof theGreatNorth-west, Iunderstandpublicscrutiny.Many times theor-ganization I love hasbeenthevictimofunfair repre-sentation invideosorrecordings.There are cer-tainboundariesbusinesses

must enforce that arenotmeant to concealwrongdo-ing or reflectpoor stan-dards. In this regard I agreewith a lawthatpreventsnonemployees enteringbusinessesbyusing force,threats, ormisrepresenta-tionwith the intent to causeharm. I also agree that itshouldbeunlawful tomakevideo or audio recordings inprivate facilitieswithout theownerspermission.Sowhydidnt thedairy in-

dustryand the lawmakersbe-hind thebillstop there?Theycouldhavebetterpositionedtheirclaim. Whymake thepenalty for filminganimalabusemoreharsh than thepenaltygiven to theabusers?Although recordingwith-

in aprivate facilitywithoutpermission sounds a lot liketrespassing, I alsobelievethatwedeserve toknowwhatgoesonwithour foodsupply.Why isour industryscaredof transparency in thefood system?Lawsmade toensure the safetyof animalsandqualityof animal han-dling areextremely impor-tant.Time shouldbe spenton improving industry stan-dards rather than findingways to criminalizebehav-iors that arenothingmorethan a response topoor stan-dards.Shouldntwe start atthe rootof theproblem?Myhusbandcallsmea

devilsadvocate,but I thinkof itas trying tounderstandboth sidesof the issue. I com-

mend thosewhoare step-pingup toaskquestions,write letters to theeditorandtake this lawto thecourts.Idahosagriculture industrywouldbewell-served to lis-tenandaddressqualitycon-cernsmoreproactively.

[email protected] Idaho StatesmanDePaul Industries is

bringing itsmission tohelpdisabledworkers findworkto theTreasureValley.Based inPortland,DePaul

providesbusinesseswithshort-termworkers just likeany staffing service.Thedif-ference is thatDePaulworksmostlywithworkerswithphysical ordevelopmentaldisabilities.Thenonprofit,whichoperates fromeightoffices in five states, placedworkers in 3,200 temporaryjobs earningmore than $30million inwages in 2013,President andCEODaveShaffer says.

Its awin for us and for acompany if theywant tohire(the tempworkers),Shaffersays. We differ fromotherstaffing firms in thatwe en-courage attrition.DePaul expanded into

BoisebyopeningPurpose-Staff, a for-profit version ofits staffing office, at 1406N.MainSt. inMeridian.Thetwo-employee officeopened inNovember andhashad about 30workersearningwages, includingsomeworking at lumberand light industrial compa-nies and in clerical positionsat law firms,Shaffer says.

AU.S.DepartmentofLa-bor rule has fueleddemandforDePauls services andpromptedSchaffersdeci-sion to expandwithPurposeStaff.The govern-mentwants companieswithfederal contracts to fill 7percentof theirworkforceswith employeeswhohavedisabilities.The rule isnotyet enforced,butmanybusi-nesses expect it tobecomeimportant as seek federalcontracts,Shaffer says.

We thought (the 7per-cent rule) couldbe the trig-ger that says this is aviablebusiness thatwill create de-mandon thepartof govern-ment contractors to figureouthowtodo this,he says.Whynotposition ourselvestohelp themdo that in aneasyway?Peoplewithdisabilities

areemployed at about athirdof the rateof thegener-al public,Shaffer says.Com-panies trying tobemore so-

cially responsible are recog-nizing theproblem andus-ingDePaul andPurposeStafftohiremorepeoplewithdis-abilities,Shaffer says.PurposeStaffwill run

nearly identically to thenonprofitDePaul andwillremain drivenbyDePaulssocialmission rather thanseeking profits, he says.DePaul isnot affiliated

withSocietyofSt.VincentdePaul, theCatholicvolun-teer group that servespoorpeople.DePaul Industriesalso employsworkerswithdisabilities in packaging andsecurityoperations.MyersContainer inPort-

land regularly fills tempo-rarypositions at its recy-cling plantswithDePaulworkers. JerryBarker, assis-tant administrator atMyers,says the company currentlyhas 10DePaulworkers.Barker saysMyershu-

man resourcesdepartmentprobably kept its eye on the7percent rule,but all hecares about is finding reli-ableworkers.The companyhashiredDePaul-placedtempworkers in thepast.
