[Tammy8]

I know when ranchers could not sell cattle for any price- and could not afford to buy feed- the government bought my grandfather’s (and other ranchers of course) cattle and sent men out to shoot them on the ranch and leave them to rot while people were starving in the cities.

I have never heard about the government buying houses, that really does need to be looked up.

Thanks, Tammy.
