WASHINGTON, Feb. 7, 2014 – President Obama signed into law a sweeping five-year farm bill (H.R. 2642) today that authorizes nearly $1 trillion in spending and makes historic changes to agricultural policy.
In a culmination of a lengthy congressional effort, Obama signed the bill in Michigan, flanked by Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., Senate President Pro Tempore Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, and a handful of other Democratic lawmakers. Notably absent from the ceremony was Senate Agriculture Committee ranking member Thad Cochran, R-Miss., House Agriculture Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., and House Agriculture ranking member Collin Peterson, D-Minn. https://www.agri-pulse.com/articles/...-bill-into-law
President Obama didn't get us drug into a trade war of his own making. So there is that.

This is the tired old failed dem mantra- trade with China is GOOD!!
Well................. this "trade" has gutted our manufacturing sector. The left blamed automation, but that has been dispelled.
Trump is bringing manufacturing back to the US and helping the middle class.
Given that the left hates the middle class, they are opposed to Trump's initiatives. However, even the left's political leaders (Pelosi and Schumer) support his actions and want him to stand firm.
Trump is showing exactly why usuay respectable farm staters are keeping their mouths shut over his dumbassness. They get rewarded with subsidies like this.
Libs want $15 an hour for mindless part time jobs but won't pay the farmers $15 an acre. Trump solidifying the farm belt vote.
