I learned this selling to farmers, who pretend to be the most rock-ribbed patriotic Conservatives in the land, UNTIL you threaten their favorite subsidy program.
Food stamps (or whatever they're called now) is a farm subsidy.

I'd much rather subsidize a farmer to keep him in business through bad times than the likes of Elon Musk (Tesla).

I don't recall seeing any of this kind of talk from Walter Williams during the 8 yrs of Obama...I must have missed it.

The REAL support for the Food Stamp Program comes from
Walmart/Kroger/Safeway/Publix/Kraft/Campbells/Hormel/ConAgra/Kelloggs/Nestle. Not so much poor people.

You missed it. This is from June 2016; just over a year ago. Bath-house Barry Benghazi was infesting the White House at the time. If you were busy shrieking "NEVERTRUMPER!!!", you probably missed a lot of things.

What about manufacturing? Why not tariffs to promote domestic industry? win-win.

Yeah, you did miss it. You didn't even read this article, because if you did, you would have seen that Walter linked to this article from 2010: Washington Lies
