Ag Secretary => Food Stamps. Also holds sway over the ethanol boondoggle, defends agriculture from the climate change cult, and more. It’s an important position that directly affects We The People.

Don’t know much about her but she’s a Texan and I believe she’ll be a damn sight better than that demonrat scum Vilsack! (Low bar to clear, that.)

The biggest help that most farmers need is an end to the estate tax that prevents them from passing their farms down to their children.

This would be a state issue, but most farmers would LOVE to see a cut or an end to the property taxes that are killing them as well. They have enough to worry about, while trying to feed the planet that seems to be hell-bent on bankrupting them.

That is a good question. Farmers are asking for a political advisory board. Because right now only the corporations and USDA that buy their products have a say.

What we really need is make farming something people want to do. Once we lose farmers, it’s all over.

Rollins, who served as chief for domestic policy during Trump’s first administration, was confirmed overwhelmingly by the Senate in a 72-28 vote.

Another un-intelligent, weak woman chosen by Trump.

(Are there any other big events — hearings, confirmations, etc., on the schedule for today? Seems pretty quiet.)
