2020 SOTU Speech Thread

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.

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.
 
Nice source. Lol

NBC, CBS and ABC all beat Fox at the 9pm airing (10:30 too).

Next time they may want to put it just after the early bird specials wrap up and before the Lawrence Welk Show starts. Fox might have a chance...

News flash!!!! They all have speech writers. One of my old roommates was a speechwriter for President Ford.
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.

I like your posts. I like you as a poster.

Doom and gloom when funding is reduced or eliminated is exactly what the other side says about their sacred cows. If an industry or several are only viable thanks to the taxpayers propping them up in a free society, those industries have outlived their viability.

Farming is more than an industry. It's essential to sustain human life. It's vastly different than subsidizing crooked solar panel producers.
 
I have history on my side... you do not. Republicans have held this hope before and they are always wrong. Trump has engaged in too much race baiting, to be the one who finally breaks through with black voters.

Dems own the black vote right?
 
Socialism will destroy the country, and you’ll still be in your mommy’s basement for life.

I don't disagree, chief. I'm just pointing out how people like you aren't saying a damn thing while Trump engages in it.

Your personal shots are amusing.
