$15B Wow. That's lemmee see.... $47.31 per person in the US!
Where should I send my check?
Then add in the original $12 Billion in farmer pay outs (another $43 per US citizen), plus the increased prices to pay the tariffs on imported goods and parts ( approx $500 per household).
DJT sure does not mind spending America's future does he? Does he think he is playing the board game "monopoly?" This is real life, Donald, not a reality show.
Yes, I am angry that the people who voted this idiot into office can get bailed out when he makes stupid decisions. Mere $15 billion? What about living on the government teat? Guess it's a problem until it affects them. The hypocrisy is stunning. Government bailouts, i.e., so-called "socialism" at its finest. SMDH.
You must be REALLY angry then at TARP (the Troubled Asset Relief Program) that spent 700 BILLION in taxpayers money to bail out banks.
15 billion for farmers is a drop in the bucket compared.

Subsidies/ bail outs given to farmers,bankers, single parents, unemployed workers, auto manufacturers, college students, etc. are all funded with money forcibly taken from someone else and they are all wrong.
U.S. taxpayers pay twice: we pay the tariff "border tax" plus we pay the debt being taken out to prop up farmers going bankrupt.
Nothing demands that we pay the higher costs for those products. If we decide not to make the purchase right now, and wait another month or so, or we decide to buy a different product for a lesser price, that is up to us.
What do you think will happen to the price of chicken in the grocery store, if US chicken farmers don't sell as much to China? answer, chick prices fall in the US, meaning you pay less.
BTW, when is the last time you dems associated government spending , with it costing money out of your pocket book?

Obama used his pen and his phone, and illegally gave $15 billion in taxpayer money to health care insurance corporations, as ACA subsides. And continued to do so even after federal courts told him it was unconstitutional and to halt those payments. Did the left cry about that?

I am at that. I think bailouts are ridiculous. The government creates problems, then they want to throw money at them to make them go away. The banks should have never been bailed out in 2009. The farmers should not be bailed out now.
