Hillbilly JD and Brahmin Usha Vance may not like this. They have shares in a vulture company called AcreTrader that specializes in selling seized foreclosed American farms to foreign investors. That's patriotism for you.

A bandaid to get through the midterms.

Doesn't fix the base problem.

But it will ensure enough of them are stupid enough to vote GOP again anyway.

we've been bailing out farmers for a long time.

I only point that out because some of you seem to believe this started with Trump.

Nobody thinks that.
Everybody thinks you're stupidly trying to save face for Republicans.

"we've been bailing out farmers for a long time."

And when was the last time we put farmers in a trade war so they sold $0 soybeans to China?

You live in a Clown World, Eberly.

Why should we bail out farmers who made Bad Choices and planted the Wrong Crops?
We shouldn't.

Why should we bail out farmers who hired Illegals instead of American Citizens?
We shouldn't.

Fascists never think the other fascists will come for them.
