Farmers are the army that feeds us. Helping to protect their existence and ability to produce food is part of national security.
From a young age I was told, “Never criticize a farmer with your mouth full”.

The above youtube is Cruz in Sept. explaining his views on crop insurance. He is for the insurance, but says the gov’t shouldn’t be involved (or less involved). He also brings up how the largest agri-businnesses uses 70+% of the insurance. In that bill the insurance was in with increased subsidies for welfare - so Cruz voted against that bill.
Hmm, and here all along I thought the individual citizen was the cornerstone of our society. Guess I was wrong.
Obamacare for citizens wrong.
Government care for farmers, oh it’s swell.
You know darn well that if Trump were the guy we are talking about here, you’d be using words like “statist”, “big government”, “socialist”...
