Trump Reportedly Eyeing $10 Billion Farmer Bailout—Using Tariffs: Here’s What To Know

We will need to bail out farmers because the dumb tariffs have taken a serious toll on them.
Self-induced trump “american carnage”.
What a dumbass.
 
She knows that; it's just been increasingly difficult for even the biggest trump brown nosers to defend him. So she did the best she could to slip something in. They're desperate.

Just the start. They will find ways to keep defending. We're probably in a 5-15 year thing.
 
Funny you should mention that...

Also this is Biden's fault.
Man, bailing out farmers for his crappy trade war again. The thing now is China's just sourcing elsewhere, including Argentina which this administration is bailing out.
 
The tariffs are basically another Sales Tax only worse. At least a sales tax is actually separate and spelled out when you buy. With tariffs they are hidden inside the price so you never know how much of what you are paying is actually this form of taxation. Both disproportionately affect lower-income consumers and are an effort to get away from income related taxes which the wealthy and their little lackeys hate. Of course part of being a lackey is being too stupid to think for yourself and you just do what your masters tell you.
Interesting enough is the fact that the lions share of any Farm bailout goes to the huge corporate farms and the wealthiest farmers. The small farmer gets very little and whole process just keeps making them less and less able to compete against the big guys in the end. So all of this is really just reverse Robin Hood. Here they take from the poor and give to the rich. Making America Great Again really just means going back to the time before we had a middle class which has really only existed in meaningful numbers starting after the Great Depression and WWII.
 
Wait! I though you people felt sorry for the farmers! Apparently not anymore. Also it's not 20 billion in aid, it's 20 billion to support a currency swap. If Argentina can repair its currency we can get all our money back, maybe even make some money.
So it's just a gamble on the currency market?
 
Anyone else see that video of white Arkansas farmers in a building and begging Trump to do a socialism for them?

Haven't laughed that hard in months.
 
Yep.
 
Good news for farmers!

Who would fight this?
 
So

Tariffs made the government money that is in its own bank

Going to use some of that cut to give farmers a bailout if a form of socialism for me but not thee

And all of us, left or right, is left paying more in groceries and goods, more sales tax, more money in the governments coffers.

Which America is supposed to come first here? Not even MAGA is benefiting. But as long as a liberal cries about it...
 

I mean...

That is the time period the MAGA point to as when we great. When everything sucked lol so yes, they want America to Suck Again
 
Good news for farmers!

Bailouts are not good news.
They rarely make farmers whole.
And ask yourself where the money is coming from.

They come from the tariffs income.

That's not the problem. The problem are the majority of the farmer voted for this and then plead with the person who put them in this position again. That's what's angering people.
