This should be an example to those who don’t think TRUMP is accomplishing anything positive.
Of course, the MSM won’t dare mention a word of this ‘on air’.
What? The Federal Government listening to we the people? What the heck?
Trump Effect!
Now if the Farmers and Ranchers can get the idea of Congressional Stewardship Charters into the meetings, that would go a long way in resolving the dispute with the Bundy’s and Hammond’s.
As someone who has been in ‘Ag’ in various forms for about 20 years now, this makes my heart very HAPPY! Let’s Square Dance! Yee-HAW! :)
‘The Farmer and the Cowman’
Rogers & Hammerstein, ‘Oklahoma!’
The farmer and the cowman should be friends.
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends.
One man likes to push a plough, the other likes to chase a cow,
But that’s no reason why they cain’t be friends.
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
Cowboys dance with farmer’s daughters,
Farmers dance with the ranchers’ gals. (repeat)
I’d like to say a word for the farmer,
He come out west and made a lot of changes
He come out west and built a lot of fences,
And built ‘em right acrost our cattle ranges.
The farmer is a good and thrifty citizen, no matter what the cowman says of things.
You seldom see ‘em drinkin’ in a bar room
Unless somebody else is buyin’ drinks.
But the farmer and the cowman should be friends.
Oh, the famer and the cowman should be friends.
The cowman ropes a cow with ease, the farmer steals her butter and cheese, but that’s no reason why they can’t be friends.
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
Cowboys dance with farmer’s daughters,
Farmers dance with the ranchers’ gals.
I’d like to say a word for the cowboy, the road he treads is difficult and stoney.
He rides for days on end with jist a pony for a friend.
I sure am feelin’ sorry for the pony!
The farmer should be sociable with the cowboy if he rides by and asks for food and water.
Don’t treat him like a louse make him welcome in your house.
But be sure that you lock up your wife and daughters!
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
Cowboys dance with farmer’s daughters,
Farmers dance with the ranchers’ gals!
The government listening to the people.
(As it should have been all along.)
Trump effect, indeed !
MAGA !!
Perdue is a chicken raiser. He understands that the doers need some relief
Regardless what FDR’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices wanted everybody to think about the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers when they decided Wickard v. Filburn in Congress’s favor, FDR’s justices wrongly ignored the following imo.
They ignored that previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate the INTRAstate commerce activities of these professions.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." -Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Only when buyer and seller of farm and ranch-related products are domeciled in different states or nation does Congress have constitutional authority to regulate commerce imo.
Corrections, insights welcome.
Perdue came to our church a few weeks ago to give the sermon. I had no idea this guy was such a devoted Christian.
Trump winning...but, even better, America winning!!!
From President Dwight D. Eisenhower on the Agriculture Department:
“Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you’re a thousand miles from the corn field.”
Looks like these guys are about breaking that notion.
Secretaries Perdue and Ryan would do well to repeat this effort many times throughout the country, with their underlings tasked to not only dig further into the issues raised, but to also push for media coverage, and follow up coverage, on every local media outlet possible...
Gov’t can’t solve every problem, but it CAN help in a few areas, and get out of the way in many others.
