Many of my relatives are farmers. They go to many seminars to learn how to get the most out of the farm handout programs.
They don’t like it when I ask why they spend so much time applying for welfare. It’s not welfare, it’s SUBSIDIES AND PROGRAMS they say. Whatever it takes to convince yourself, I guess.
I used to be a member of an agriculture discussion group. It was like the rural version of DemocraticUnderground. Many of them backed up their argument with “facts” from the Daily Show, Colbert, Kimmel etc. Pathetic.
Any entrepreneur can see that Trump is executing the art of the deal.
In order to bring countries to the table, he has to show them how bad things could get. He does this by puffing up and making everyone think he’s capable of anything. Then they are surprised he is reasonable in person.
The author is (almost) figuring that out. He should read Trump’s book.
He’s such a Sassehole!
Unlkike Obama and others, Trump realizes his policies will have some short-term consequences and he tries to remedy them so as to not have to deep-six the policies that will eventually bring back some heavy duty manufacturing and put us back on a tangible wealth basis instead of the service based house of cards we have become...
We already throw away tons of tax dollars on farm subsidies. Its odd to start complaining about 12 billion dollars, which is hopefully a one time pay out.
But if his boisterous, seemingly bumbling, ugly and nationalistic threats and bluster succeed ...
Yep.
It’s like they’re sitting around in their underwear, getting aroused by the thought of which one among them can hate our President / our Country and US more.
This is a gross oversimplification. The assumption is that others have accumulated currency and the only option for them is, eventually, to purchase your goods and services.
But that isn't the only option. Giving others calls on your assets, e.g. mortgaging your house, to pay for present day consumption is, according to Ricardo, among other classical economists, a sure path to ruin.
And the difficulties mount with more recent theories, which discuss such things as increasing returns to scale, the origin of economic advantage, etc.
Trump’s secret identity: He DID say, “I am Batman.”
Could we see who owns Sasse through their campaign contributions to his past campaigns? My bet would be Big Ag, the Chamber of Cronies,the meat packers and other lobbyists. If you are going to attack the President of your own Party, there has to be money involved or you are simply a Fake Republican.
It’s really all about protecting the Bush Plan for North Mexico.
We absolutely MUST remove the Bush League Republicans from office and replace them with patriots.
We would not have needed Donald Trump to save US if they were on our side.
Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Capito, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans hell bent on making America into North Mexico.
And a big one too.
Super Trump ?
He is retiring from Senate, but is planning to run against President Trump in 2020 if I am not mistaken.
Campaign contributions are laundered through big law/lobbying/hedge fund groups, usually called ‘management’ companies. Sasse is definitely one of their boys.
Jonah Goldberg is a never Trumper as he has shown many times. I wished they would all disappear.
i remember this like yesterday but can’t find any pics of the car...
William T. “Cadillac” Smith, a former longtime state senator from Big Flats, died Tuesday morning. He was 94.
Smith represented the area in the New York state Legislature from 1962 to 1986.
A lifelong Big Flats resident, he ran his family’s 1,200-acre farm along State Route 352 for many years.
He got the nickname “Cadillac” after a stunt he pulled in 1961 to protest the government’s farm subsidy program.
He took money sent to him by the government for not growing corn, bought a shiny Cadillac, put a sign on the back thanking President John F. Kennedy for his generosity, and drove it to Washington, D.C., where he was greeted by Republican congressmen. The stunt was featured in Time magazine in 1961.
Shortly afterward, he was approached to run for political office, said his son, Michael Smith, the sixth-generation owner of Smithome Farms and a Big Flats town councilman.
“He was a conservative Republican, a down-to-earth farmer, and a good guy you could come talk to,” Michael Smith said. “He would stand up for the little guy.”
Corker is retiring, Alexander’s time will come too. You better work on your state to turn it red from blue and not worry about the other states.
Oops! Good point bump! The more negative adjectives used the more likely a negative perception will be created regardless of source or subject.
PG version: For the FOURTH time this week, the ‘ol ball and chain interrupted my FR checks by demanding TWENTY minutes doing the same old same old with a skimpy red cotton tiny shift she stole from our daughter that hardly covered anything. Afterwords I had to take a TWO hour nap. I’ll never get that time back! Jeez - why can’t she just leave me alone?
