“It’s a bridge. It’s not the ultimate solution we’re looking for,” said Charlie Radman, a 4th-generation farmer who grows corn & soybeans on the land his family has owned near Randolph, Minnesota, since 1899. “What we really want to have is a little more certainty & not have to rely on these ad hoc payments.”

While rural areas remain conservative bastions, #farmers’ patience is wearing thin. Several of them described the #government #bailout, an echo of similar policies during Trump’s first term, as a welcome stopgap but one that will not solve the #agricultural industry’s problems.

“Maybe this will all come out to be better at the end, but I can tell you right now, it certainly isn’t the case at the moment,” Stehly said.

#Trump announced Monday that his admin would distribute $12 billion in 1-time payments to #farmers, who have suffered from persistently low commodity prices, rising #costs & declining #sales after #China cut off all #agricultural purchases from the #US during the #trade war.

#Bailout

#Farmers will get more money from #Trump.

When Trump promised new #tariffs while running for office, Gene Stehly worried that #trade disputes would jeopardize his international #sales of #corn, #soybeans & #wheat.

A little more than a year later, Stehly said his fears have become a reality, & Trump’s latest promise of #FederalAssistance is insufficient to cover #US farmers’ losses.

"When you realize that, you can’t help but notice that some of the people who shout the loudest about how independent they are and how much they despise the government meddling in their lives are the people who have benefited the most from it."

"If they must be given any help at all, it should be accompanied with stern lectures and rituals of humiliation like drug tests and endless paperwork, so they have an incentive to change their malingering ways. ...

There are over 400 federal programs focused on promoting economic and community development in rural areas."

"One of the key through-lines of conservative social policy is that the average person who receives a direct government benefit like Medicaid or food stamps is a contemptible parasite, one whose need for government support is evidence of their poor character."

This vile scumbag causes misery all over the world, especially here in our own nation, and then blames others. Destroys an economy, raises taxes on everyone in the US, and now uses that stolen money to bailout the people who inflicted this abomination on the rest of the country.

President Trump announced a $12 billion farm aid package on Monday, money the president said "would not be possible without tariffs."

"We're giving some up to the farmers because they were mistreated by other countries," Trump said.

But some farmers and economists were quick to note that the problems facing farmers and the mistreatment they have endured are primarily a direct consequence of Trump's own tariff actions.

fires off his latest

Those of an ignorant bent
proclaim this grifter as Heaven sent

he is drowning them with lies

🚨🚨🚨$12B is insufficient to cover American farmers' financial loses from Trump's #tariffs: "Arkansas farmer: It's a far cry from what we need.

Just the loss🚨in corn this year was >$16B. The loss in soybeans is $11B. Cotton & rice are even bigger losses than that. $12B is not going to make up for this one year."

Trump's farm #bailout🚨is a direst result of his policies & #tariffs. Americans are finally realizing the damage his regime is doing to their finances & futures.

"Farm #bankruptcies:🚨⬆️60% in the 1st yr of Trump's 2nd term, comp to the last yr of Biden's T.

*Impose massive tariffs on CN
*CN retaliates by ending its soybean imports
*Cut deal w/CN so they'll buy our #soybeans
CN buys only 20%, so far, of what it agd to purch
*Offer $12B to US #farmers..."
