I have been yelling this from day one of these ridicules tariffs, Republicans will sneak in a bailout for them, Democrats as painful as it will be must stand strong and reject this!
The farmers were hurt during his first administration because China refused to buy soy beans from us because of his tariffs. He overlooks the fact that he has now cut funding for farmers by over $2 billion with the gutting of USAID alone. That's not including the cuts in USDA funding and tariffs on
fertilizer from Canada. The farmers are hurting as a direct result of his policies, just like last time. That is why they are having to be bailed out again.
I'd been remembering it as "Trump's payoffs mostly went to big agribusiness rather than family farms" but I'm not surprised that a lot of whiteness was involved.
And apparently not only did Trump not learn, but China just shifted another huge chunk of soybean business to Brazil long-term.
