$12 billion of the people's money being squandered to cover Trump's huge ass.
But no one on the right bats an eye at it.
It's similar to Obama giving money for those unemployed. That covered Obama. I'm sure you loved that one. Why don't you give Trump credit for redistributing money like Obama did?
I don't like it - even though these people produce our food supply.
The difference is we need farmers and this won't be a permanent thing like welfare is. We don't "need" people who can't produce anything. I'm not trying to be mean but it's the damn truth. How would your life be affected if people who produce nothing but take everything just disappeared as opposed to farmers disappearing? In the big picture that's what many realize. The US spends roughly 1 trillion a year every year on welfare programs and that is a permanent expenditure. Just imagine how worse off these people, along with everyone else would be if there were no farmers. Things will settle down and this won't be needed like this anymore.
Just dont call it capitalism then.
The Soviet Union worked the same way where they supported the Big Business while everyone else got the scraps.
Price fixing, corruption, purchasing politicians and socialism for the wealthy with connections, Capitalism for everyone else..

Well yes, Democrats do generally like helping people who are going through hard times.
We're typically not fans of actively trying to put people into hard times though.
I believe this is part of the original "up to $12 billion" that was earmarked.
Every time food stamps are cut, even under Clinton, the subsidies going to corporate farms is always increased to make for the loss they may experience.
Food Stamps were actually created by lobbyists for corporations when they saw that they could get in on the action with USDA food being handed out.
Now the same corporations are fine with ending food stamps, just keep the money coming.
