    So Trump is going to engage in government spending and redistributing income (welfare for farmers) in order to counterbalance the predictable impact of his liberal economic policy (protectionist tariffs)....https://twitter.com/AaronBlake/status/1021768635344474112 …

        This is what happens when you put a man in charge that’s never had to actually work for money. Money is a totally abstract concept to him, he has always been able to talk people into giving him more. That doesn’t work for most Americans

        And someone who is a habitual bankruptcy participant. Tax hikes masked as tariffs, destructive trade policy, and now add some more debt to the mountain we're facing. The @GOP is a defunct political party.

        I was being sarcastic. I agree. They should have to suffer with the rest of us. They voted for him, they vowed to stick with him... No bailout. He's not saving their farms, he's merely buying their vote.

        However, as they are losing their farms, Trump continues to line his pockets.

        Exactly which is why he will never leave office.. Either through resignation or impeachment... I don't see him accepting a ruling that he is out... Constitutional crisis here we come what do we do when he doesn't leave after he is convicted in the Senate and suspends elections

        Sen. Bob Corker characterizes Trump's farm aid proposal: "You have a terrible policy that sends farmers to the poorhouse, and then you put them on welfare, and we borrow the money from other countries." "It's hard to believe there isn't an outright revolt right now in Congress."

        I’m not with smartest man in the world but, wouldn’t this be classified as a handout/welfare to farmers? The same exact farmers who would have a huge issue with this if it were going minorities. Shouldn’t they be pulling themselves up by the bootstraps?

        This is HORRIBLE policy! First screw the farmers and consumers, then, to make up for it, screw the taxpayers (or the children and grandchildren thereof, whenever the debt piper ends up insisting on being paid). This is really, really stupid.
