Welfare queens.
True MAGA farmers should reject payouts from the government, because that’s socialism and socialism is BaAaAaD
They should all go to Galt’s Gulch.
How about them bootstraps, huh?
"What we’re doing is we’re taking a relatively small portion of that [money we made off tariffs], and we’re going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance.“
You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the New West. You know… morons.
Howard Johnson is right!
Doctor Samuel Johnson is right about Orson Johnson being right.
So, he’s taking our money that we’re forced to pay due to his stupid tariffs and is using some of it to payoff his supporters who he screwed over with those same tariffs. So, forcing everyone else to clean up his messes. Classic trump.
Seeing this after reading about our military spending approaching one trillion $… It’s a pittance. About 2% of the military budget. And as someone else said, most will be gobbled by corps. What a joke.
Why do they need payouts?
Ok. So then what about next year when the tarrifs are still in place and fucking over farmers?
They will get another “one time” payment again. It’s like stimulus checks but only for his supporters.
Well, hopefully that’s after the midterms and if they don’t like it, well fuck it. Donvict won’t care as long as he has a compliant Congress to kowtow to every bullshit decree he bleats out on his Xitter knockoff.
It’s like driving through town and throwing coins out the window.
Once the small farmers realize Trump is coming for their land it will be too late.
From his own pocket right? Because his stupid decisions put them in that situation. I would like to see what percentage of money goes to small farms and what money goes to huge corporate farms.
boosting the farm safety net
Oh nice that they get one but no one fucking else does.
Well, without them we all die of starvation, so, yeah they should have a safety net. Unless you and everyone you know wants to become a farmer, mass production farms are how we feed billions of people.
Of course, but from what I’m understanding these subsidies are going to the farmers who’s soybeans weren’t bought by China because of Trump’s tariffs so they weren’t domestic food to begin with. Now they will probably rot somewhere instead. Starvation never entered the picture, this is all about money. I’d love to own a farm, sure.
Starvation never entered the picture because there is a safety net and has been one since the dust bowl. Farmgate value for most products is terrible which is why they get so many subsidies and tax breaks.
It’s a shame their products aren’t valued more, since they are the raw materials for so much including life. I still don’t support bailing out farmers who voted for this. I guess I would rather bail out farmers than bankers or oil barons or ranchers, as if I have a choice. Anyways, we can’t be sure this money is even going to the right people with this admin.
Look it’s me, a farmer.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Oh they do. This is them taking that fear seriously and consolidating control.
