I keep seeing the uproar here about farm subsidies. Just a quick reminder that it’s been going on for decades throughout both democrat and republican presidencies.
So let’s just let the farmers crash, after all our society as a whole could stand to lose a few pounds due to any food shortages, although those hardest hit will be the large population clustered urban areas. Who needs manufacturing jobs when food product plants cut back due to no farm production. Oh, and we’ll take out our transportation system at the same time because there’s no products to transport. But don’t stop there...add in less money for discretionary consumer spending, but wait, would that hit the housing market and associated trade jobs? Ah screw it, let’s just go ahead and crash our economy because we’re upset at subsidized farming and want to totally eliminate it.
For those to dense to comprehend that I’m somewhat poking here. I do understand how subsidized farming actually works and why there are issues with it.
They don't all read their speeches like it's the first time they have ever seen it. Trump struggles with every sentence and he places emphasis in the wrong place. He is awkward and uncomfortable to listen to. His prepared speeches don't flow at all. His cadence is the same throughout. He tries to sound grandiose but it comes across as patronizing.News flash!!!! They all have speech writers. One of my old roommates was a speechwriter for President Ford.

There's no uproar over subsidies, it's pointing out the cognitive dissonance of whining about socialism while simultaneously pouring $28,000,000,000 of taxpayer dollars to prop up a industry.
Many here screeched about TARP and bank bailouts, now they sit quietly and rationalize that it's somehow different now.
You know @lawgator1 and his girl @evillawyer are shockingly quiet on this topic and not showing up for their water carrying shift![]()
