Showing Original Post only (View all)Farmer bailout is yet another funnel to white men [View all]
I have a real problem with the farmers $16 billion bailout. While most of Americansmeaning most non-Trump supportersare struggling under just the escalating prices due to tariffs Trump is funneling $$ once again to his base. Because after all, who are Americas farmers and agricorp owners if not primarily white men?
The government should represent everybody.
