BS! For a congress that couldn’t care less about spending to stop money that would actually help devastated farmers in my state and many others is awful. Someone should take this guy out back and whip his butt. Nearly a year of no relief for Southeastern farmers and still they have to wait.
When 55,000 factory closed since 2000 and millions lost their jobs tell me where was the “relief” for factory workers ? Tractor monkeys can learn to code too.
Why is help not forthcoming from their states?
You raise a valid concern about an important, even essential element of our country, an element that by its role alone deserves specific protection and assurances.
If the government deems it prudent to afford special protection to banks, why not similar protection for the economic health of our American farmers and their marketplace? Whatever we have done in the past certainly isn't addressing today's needs.
Trump may use this moment as a MAGA opportunity to assemble a team of qualified individuals to design a non-political, long-lasting answer.
In the interim, perhaps offer low or no interest long term loans? (While the rest of us work to cultivate better political candidates.)
