A plea from the heartland, where the gullible/ignorant sheep voted for Dotard

Trump’s trade war price tag is too high

The recently announced $12 billion bailout bill for farmers is an indication that President Donald Trump doesn’t plan to stop imposing tariffs anytime soon.

Having grown up on a family farm, I can assure you farmers want reliable markets to sell their products, not this crazy bailout. They do not want to be pawns in an international trade war.

Some of the largest beneficiaries will be corporations. Cargill, Inc. a privately held American global corporation with businesses that trade, purchase and distribute agricultural commodities will certainly benefit. Small family farms will not.

After the trade war began, soybeans dropped $2 per bushel. To put that loss in perspective, a farmer with 600 acres of soybeans and an average yield of 45 bushels per acre will lose $54,000 this year. President Trump’s bailout will compensate farmers for about 80 percent of their losses. In this example, the farmer still loses more than $10,000 and it cost taxpayers $12 billion!

Where does this end? How many more industries will need to be bailed out because of the financial suffering the trade wars are causing? What part of this makes sense?

Too bad dummies. You voted the arrogant incompetent clown (R) into office.

Now you gotta live with your mistake. 

The bad news? The rest of us do to....
