Trump to announce $12 billion in aid to farmers

[dblack]

MOAR FREE SHIT!!!!

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Wait…I still have to buy food even after they’re getting free money from the government? Doesn’t seem right.

Everyone does, you're not special. You think you are but no

 

[Zincwarrior]

Nobody will tell me where to go to get my free shit. Naybe I should open a farm…they’re swimming in it

Get some acres. Put a cow on it. Sell the grass, get the subsidy and tax break.

The Scottish German Chump?

I every country in the world is feeding off America to a greater or lessor extent

But china is the prime suspect

 

[sealybobo]

And the basis for that number is......

Reality. Look at how Trump said he lowered drug prices 1000%. Based on that exaggeration I'd say my number is solid. Based on how much he exaggerates.

We are the richest country in the world. Best middle class. Isn't it us "feeding" off everyone else? What do you mean feeding off us?

Remember, when you say they are "feeding off America" what do you mean exactly? They are selling shit to us? We don't have to buy it you know.

Republicans act like America is doing horrible and everyone else is doing better and taking advantage of us.

Also keep in mind what benefits American corporations might not benefit you and me. So when you say "they are taking advantage of America" who is? Who's getting taken advantage of? You the worker or you the consumer? And are you sure it's not the American companies who are taking advantage of "you"? Whoever you is???

 

[sealybobo]

The peanut butter didn't go to the people you moron it went to the military and the protected classes in those countries just like the Gaza food aid went straight to Hamas.

You got a link or any evidence of these claims?

That has to be one of the most uneducated and ignorant responses I have ever seen anyone post.

There is data out there that tells you what has happened and what is projected to happen and all you can produce is some number you pulled from your backside based on your TDS and lack of a GED.

No community should have to suffer through the insulting drivel you post.

This is socialism, right? Harris was rightly mocked for her idea to give every home buyer $25,000 towards the purchase of a new home. How is this distribution of wealth any different? Surely, MAGA will condemn this (crickets on social media). This administration created this problem and now they want to use our tax dollars to Band-Aid the wound.

The announcement comes after China recently started buying U.S. soybeans again after a tense trade war halted the purchases in a blow to American farmers.

Trump said the money would come from the hundreds of billions of dollars in tariff revenue the U.S. has collected this year.

 

[sealybobo]

Could you ask a few questions before making such speculative claims?

While I would agree that helping farmers is not a great thing, I wonder which farmers are being impacted the most.

Corporate farms which essentially pay farmers to do their work.....are getting hurt?

Or is it small farms?

Would be very interested to know.

Has Trump collected enough in Tarriffs to cover this?

The fiscal 2025 decficit was revised to be down about 200 billion lower than expected.....as I read it....it was mainly due to tarriffs. In spite of sealybobo the ignorant and his claim of this and that, this is what has been published.

So, I am O.K. with the 12 billion spent to gain 200 billion saved.

And we've always helped farmers (and car companies and anyone else crying about losing money) which I don't like.

What does the aid look like? Sounds like direct cash payments. I'd like one too!!!!! My garden is a farm (technically).
Blah blah blah blah blah blah.....

Don't believe Trump's fake numbers

Don't gaslight us and tell us this economy is good. It's not. Any numbers Trump puts out are bullshit

Americans are feeling the economic uncertainty the second Trump administration has brought.

U.S. job openings barely budged in October, coming in at 7.7 million with ongoing uncertainty over the direction of the American economy.
The Labor Department reported Tuesday that employers posted 7.67 million vacancies in October, close to September’s 7.66 million.

The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), which was delayed by the extended government shutdown, also showed that the layoffs rose and number of people quitting their jobs — a sign of confidence in the labor market — fell in October.

Job openings have come down steadily since peaking at a record 12.1 million in March 2022

Overall, it’s a puzzling time for the American economy, buffeted by President Donald Trump’s decision to reverse decades of U.S. policy in favor of free trade and instead impose double-digit tariffs on imports from most of the world’s countries.

We still don't really know how bad October's numbers were

The October report on job openings came out a week late, and the September version was not published separately because federal data collectors were on furlough. Instead, September’s JOLTS numbers were folded into Tuesday’s report along with October’s.
The Labor Department will issue numbers for hiring and unemployment in November next Tuesday, 11 days later than originally scheduled. The department is not releasing an unemployment rate for October because it could not calculate the number during the shutdown. It will release some of the October jobs data — including the number of positions that employers created that month — along with the full November jobs report.

Forecasters surveyed by the data firm FactSet predict that employers added fewer than 38,000 jobs in November and that the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.5% from September’s 4.4%, how by historical standards but the highest in nearly four years.

And next year will be worse

I dont see how you arrived at that decision

We are not sucking profits and wealth out of the test of the world

They are sucking our wealth from us

Trump had to bail them out with $28 billion during his first term, after China kicked his dumb ass the first time.

You need to start taking your ADHD meds.

This response has nothing to do with farming.

Absolutely nothing.

Why do you continue to subject us to your stupid comments which waste our time and depress us (because we have right before us an example of how the education system has failed people).

OK, back to the topic:

The fat rapist screwed up again, because his brain is broken, and he is economically illterate.

The economy is the economy.

You can't make a blanket statement about something so large and complex.

Some things are good and some things are not.

But sealybobo (a.k.a. sealybonehead) has TDS so bad, his posts are laden with his own opinion sold as fact and bs sold as is opinion.
