The meat industry is in trouble, because China and Mexico are not importing much from US due to the trade wars, and they don't know what to do with the all the excess meat.

The meat industry was in trouble in Rocky one.
Liberals have been treating their meat the same ever since.

Republicans had a **** fit about bailouts when the economy was in a free fall.

Back then, they were all about letting the market work itself out.

Let's see who opposes this corporate bailout.

If the market shifts, then the corporations need to shift as well. These bailouts will prevent that from happening.

Some who work on farms may need to be retrained. I'm fine with subsidizing retraining. The unemployment rates are at all time lows. Should not be all that difficult to find new careers.

But not okay with subsiding corporations. They just got a huge tax cut. Isn't that enough?

Hey deep pockets why dont you sponsor someone? No taxpayer money is required to train workers..well unless you think industries willingly go without help. stop paying people not to work and stop paying farmers to not grow food, the market will handle it.

We have too many farmers. We pay them subsidies not to grow food. Trump is blowing $12 Billion to buy votes when Republicans have been screaming we can’t afford health care. The farmers need to get real jobs instead of taking subsidies not to grow food, and now more payoffs because Trump is a moron.

I thought trade wars were good and easy to win?
I thought Trump was a selfish pig who only cared about himself...

Spending taxpayer money to fix the collateral damage made by other admins is a sad but neccessary step to right the ship...
