In 2020, direct government payments to farmers set a new record $51.2 billion, or 43.8% of net farm income (also a new record). The subsidy payments are just the tip of the support farmers get from the government" frugal ron
As any conservative capitalist will tell you, “The best cure for low prices is low prices.” The market distorting government programs provide price floors for farmers protecting them from the full impact of supply and demand driven price drops.
Pretty sure it’s a feature, not a bug. As businesses go bankrupt, the oligarchs can pick them up at fire sale prices. They’ll soon control just about everything.
French fittings, Korean pipe, Indian conduit and so many more which slowed construction down first time and risks closing sites with tens of thousands of his voters
Meanwhile trump is grifting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into his own pockets by CHARGING the Secret service for their protection during his weekly golf trips to Mar-a-Lago
His goal is to make the US weak. There’s no other explanation for him cutting its security and destroying its economy. A Russian puppet controlling the US.

Better headline:
Republicans finally coming to terms with negative effects of Trump's economic plans
Like putting a slug in charge of the salt pit waiting to see what will happen when it dives in then the GOP acting surprised.
This is a combination of 2 things:
1) Trump is dumb. The man bankrupted 3 casinos. He is not a business genius.
2) This reeks of disaster capitalism...
the practice of taking financial advantage of natural or man-made disasters and unstable social, political, or economic situations.
They want people to be desperate, begging for scraps.
It creates a more compliant society - you can't think about someone else's...
Trump, Musk etc they want worker drones they can pay a pittance that won't speak out or challenge anything they do.
Why else would the right be going on about low birth rates in a world already overpopulated.
Pss don’t tell the billionaires!
One: he’s lying!
Two: the ‘making you rich’ thing applies to himself and his chums ie not you!
Three: he’s going to throw you under a bus!
Only congress can issue tariff’s in piece time ..

In just 3 Months, Trump has turned America into a hostile autocracy betraying and abusing both its citizens and its allies.
If you don’t do something, by the end of December it will have become a full fledged Russian Controlled Reich!
