That’s why he posted this story again to bury the Cruz flip.
Do you seriously expect a Senator from Texas, the biggest agricultural state in the U.S., to vote not to protect farmers from losing their farms when a natural disaster happens? BTW, nobody criticized Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, even though they both voted the same way as Cruz.
Crop insurance is private sector, subsidized by the government. That actually saves the government money, because they don’t have to pick up the entire tab in the event a disaster wipes out an entire area’s crops.
Without a stable agricultural sector, no nation is secure. Consider farmers the army that feeds us.
