Maybe socialism and welfare ain’t all that bad.

I’m sure that’s what conservatives tell themselves when they hook up the farmer lobby .

U.S. farmers receive $7.7 billion in trade aid to date: USDA

The administration of President Donald Trump has pledged up to $12 billion in aid to help offset losses for crops hit by retaliatory Chinese tariffs imposed in response to Washington’s tariffs on Chinese goods.

 

[Damaged Eagle]

Have you analyzed to see which farmers receive the lions share of that or are you just painting with a broad brush?

In other words how much of that goes to the large corporate farmers who don't even know how to drive much less start a tractor or combine?

In addition... How much of that money is slated to food subsidies for the poor?

*****SMILE*****

Passing a kidney stone is not all that bad compared to some other stuff....but the list of stuff is very short.

A few extra shekels, on top of the scores of billions they already get to contaminate our gasoline with ETOH.

You do know the Farm subsidies aid big farms in this country, so it is like another corporate welfare...

It took decades for what we see to come to this. It is going to take time to reverse what we can. After all. we have been paying for irresponsible was of living for half a century now. You have no issue with that. The Venezuela model is our future.

Is that what you want Timmy?....do you want to be breast fed your entire life?...there is a joy in doing for ones self....a feeling of accomplishment and pride of doing for one's self...
If everyone is on the government dole the people who really need the help are short changed.....that is why socialism does not work...you end up running out of doers and that only leaves takers....like you I'm guessing....

25 million tons of soy unsold. 11,000 farmers apply for tariff relief.
costing $1.9 billion drop in exports, and then seize their land.

The only one youre complaining about is the 1.9 billion drop in exports? That was the only huff post link, but that actually comes from the USDA, as reported by AOL and the hill.
Still remaining is the 25 million tons of soy that cant be sold, and 11,000 texas farmers seeking tariff relief.

Is it not true ?

You righties are such f’n hypocrites. Yapping about the evils of socialism and welfare and bragging about the wonders of capitalism.

It’s it capitalism when you prop up the farm industry?

Is the crazy angry left going to bore us with examples of federal spending for the next two years and claim it's an example of socialism? If we are living with some programs that might be considered socialistic these days why isn't that good enough for them?

 

[blackhawk]

If one believes socialism is not that bad instead of trying to make America into a socialist country why not move to one that already is socialist? If that truly is the type of country and government you wish to live in that would be much easier than trying to change America into one.

Yep. But its not family farms who will or already have gotten this money. Like everything else trump does, this benefits big business.

Funny how RWNJss hated President Obama for bailing out US auto makers who were hurt by the last Repub prez but love the orange squatter for CAUSING the problem and then throwing taxpayer money at it while giving money to the very wealthy.

In my state trump has ruined many businesses, including farmers. Don't worry though. Monsanto is buying up the land at auctions. And then, they let the previous owners work for them. And effing RWNJs love that family farms are being forced to fail. As bad as they had it before trump is killing them. Same with steel, coal and so on. Not to mention that trump is literally poisoning people. Including children who have the bad luck to not be fetuses.

America is socialist and has been for a long time . Maybe you should leave ?

It amazes me how Cons can bend themselves into a pretzel to justify how their socialism ISNT socialism.
