Farmers 'running out of cash' under ‘crisis’ brought on by Trump

excerpt:

American farmers are struggling under a “crisis” brought on by President Donald Trump’s trade war, wrote Bloomberg reporters Steven Church and Ilena Peng on Wednesday, one that has left a number of small farmers on the brink of bankruptcy.

“Now we are seeing farmers run out of liquid cash after trying to ‘just make it to next year’ several years in a row,” said Ryan Loy, assistant professor at the University of Arkansas and agricultural economist, speaking with Bloomberg.

 

Trump will (supposedly) fix what he broke for the farmers.

Tuberville says Democrats should be investigated for trying to turn America into communism.

He's also alleging that Democrats destroyed Epstein files.


Tuberville claims Democrats may have ‘destroyed’ Epstein files evidence

 

Tuberville is a former football coach. Trump made him a U.S. Senator.

Trump tried to reach Tuberville during the Jan. 6 riot but Giuliani kept dialing wrong numbers.

Showing just how incompetent he is with government, after he was elected to the U.S. Senate, Tuberville said publicly that he was going to use his Senate office to raise campaign money for himself. That's a violation of federal law.

 

During his first term, Trump's fix was to take tens of billions of dollars from taxpayers and give it as welfare to the farmers.


‘Here’s your check’: Trump’s massive payouts to farmers will be hard to pull back - POLITICO

excerpt:

"Direct farm aid has climbed each year of Trump’s presidency, from $11.5 billion in 2017 to more than $32 billion this year — an all-time high, with potentially far more funding still to come in 2020, amounting to about two-thirds of the cost of the entire Department of Housing and Urban Development and more than the Agriculture Department’s $24 billion discretionary budget, according to a POLITICO analysis. But lawmakers have taken a largely hands-off approach, letting the department decide who gets the money and how much."

 

‘Here’s your check’: Trump’s massive payouts to farmers will be hard to pull back - POLITICO

excerpt:

“It’s just, ‘Here’s your check.’ There’s an incredible amount of trust that [farmers] will use it wisely,” he said. “But at the end of the day, it’s your and my tax money. It’s not a crazy idea to ask what the public’s getting from this, or could the public expect more for it.”

The spending surge began in mid-2018 when USDA started writing checks to farmers and ranchers to pay for the damage from Trump’s trade war, which brought about higher tariffs that crushed agricultural exports and commodity prices. Farm sales to China plummeted from $19.5 billion in 2017 to just $9 billion the next year; as producers continued to hemorrhage profits in 2019, farm bankruptcies jumped nearly 20 percent last year.

It's a new low for Trump that members of his own riot squad whom he pardoned are dumping him.

He has considered them his beloved, law-abiding, cherished, justice-abused patriots, even saluting them at his rallies while the Jan. 6 prison choir sings the national anthem.
