Yes, this is too damn bipartisan for my taste.
Democrats proposed $1,105,442,000 in deficit-financed “emergency” aid to cover agricultural losses due to hurricanes
and wildfires that occurred in 2018, the exact dollar amount proposed in the December bill. A bipartisan group of
members lobbied to increase this, and the House agreed, resulting in a final tally of just over $3.0 billion.
The bill expands those eligible for aid to explicitly include businesses that lost poultry, livestock, milk, and private forests.
It even reaches back to last February’s emergency spending bill for 2017 hurricanes and wildfires and retroactively makes
eligible “losses of peach and blueberry crops in calendar year 2017 due to extreme cold.” The similarities are uncanny.

Also expensive, and at the taxpayer’s expense.
Now add on the ethanol thievery, and all of the other crops in the omnibus farm bill.
Soon it's socialism only a capitalist could love.
