A drop in the bucket compared to funding the corrupt bankers with TARP funds. At least the farmers will maintain instead of losing everything. The tariffs will bring back businesses from overseas and slowly rebuild the infrastructure of America.

Psst, we made a profit on TARP [1].

Yup, I actually just looked that up myself from another thread. Okay, in that case I’m alright with bailing out farmers under the same conditions: pay the money back, with interest.

It’s not a permanent program… DEms have no ideas on how to deal with trade.

They seem to be running with the assumption that the only way to go is up.

Neither the EU nor China wants the net result to be reduced access to US markets. Trump unlike the dem’s and even some republicans seems to understand that.

His only goal is to use the threat of tariffs to get the others to reduce or eliminate their own along with the other barriers that exist.

A prophet for the government at the expense of millions on the street. The government put a conservator (FHFA) over FNMA and siphoned billions for years even though FNMA was never insolvent. Even for those who owned stock in FNMA couldn’t collect any dividends while FNMA was showing a huge profit. The FNMA conservatorship was a huge scam used to fund many hidden illegal operations. Your article doesn’t even begin to explain the true nature for TARP.

You’re getting paid back every time you put food in your mouth.

Misspelled profit* not prophet

27 billion more needed.
Higher prices for consumers. Bailouts for businesses.

Soda, Motorcycle Prices Rise as Tariffs Hit Home for Consumers

Consumers are paying more for products from recreational vehicles to soda as tariffs on metals and parts put pressure on U.S. manufacturers.

I am some Trumpy will be along to explain how these are good things.

I’m convinced. A great argument for subsidizing drugs as well.

You should have lobbied Trump to lay off the farm tariff.

you’re in a thread where millions on the street have bailed out farmers (after Trump started trade wars) by saying that another program used millions on the street to bail out entities.

dude. try harder.

You’re obviously ignorant on the real story behind TARP. It took me hundreds of hours of research to overcome the banking system to keep the home I built. Believe what you want.

I think Obama sums it up.

Exactly what were you trying to say to disprove what Caught in the Middle said?

again, you’re in a thread discussing how we’re all bailing about farmers (due to Trump’s trade wars) by complaining about others being bailed out.

seriously. get better at debating.

SamSalmon · 2018-08-05T18:54:13.915Z

Don’t start something you can’t finish. The issues are relevant.

If you want to avoid the debate at least be honest, instead of throwing out unwarranted corrections.

oh, i can finish anything that you start. and you certainly started the…

“At least the farmers will maintain instead of losing everything. The tariffs will bring back businesses from overseas and slowly rebuild the infrastructure of America.”

crap in a thread about us all bailing out farmers (due to Trump’s trade wars) while you complain about other industries being bailed out. i do like how you differentiated the “amount” of the bail outs though. as if a small(er) bailout makes it not a bailout or something.

so let’s go. did all of us bail out the farmers or not?

SamSalmon · 2018-08-05T19:28:54.029Z

Bailing out the farmers for their inability to sell products while we straighten out our trade deficit is a valid reason. Bailing out the banking system should have never happened, as someone suggested the one validated the other.

CaughtInTheMiddle · 2018-08-05T19:30:15.103Z

SamSalmon:

Bailing out the farmers

yes, i agree, we’re bailing out the farmers.

now, why did we have to do that?
