Dems shouldn't give farmers anything

I've been perusing various sites for comments about weather, crops etc.

Pretty much everywhere the strings quickly deteriorate into political snark and rants of the same 'ol.

Confirms my conclusion beyond just the dedicated fascists here.

No point in doing anything for farmers because you aren't going to get any support regardless. 

Fortunately it is a tiny cohort, mostly confined to states and districts that aren't in play anyway.

Although in fariness, when a particular party can lay claim to having doubled your net worth with the stroke of a pen, it does tend to create some loyalty. Framing did, of course, slowly, then quickly become the ultimate in crony capitalism.

Crony capitalism = #500,000 for an elementary quality finger painting or 10 for the big guy.

Crony capitalism = Nancy Pelosi's husband stock trading.

Crony capitalism = green new deal.

Now that is a real payout to farmers. $850/acre/year cash rent for a solar farm. Indexed to inflation with a 20 year contract followed by an option for another 20 years. Just pass the cost along to the consumer.

Call others fascist and call for fascism in the same posts.  2 points.

I agree completely shutdown the usda, no money for farmers.

Not giving people free stuff is not fascism.

Although I do generally approve of moving meat inspection to FDA, nutrition to HHS and aligning rural development with a general economic plan.

Giving industry money as a bribe to support government policy is fascism.

Re: Dems shouldn't give farmers anything

So you're assuming that there's some broad public purpose in stuff like MFPs beyond just being another Stormy payoff?

Doesn't have to be broad public support as long as Hunter can sell his water colors.
