And Republicans had a fit over the number of people on welfare during the Obama admin - during a great depression. Hypocrites.

It was a recession. Farmers aren’t on welfare.

Oh right, the great depression is the impeachment inquiry. And farmers did get welfare - a hell of a lot- at least that’s what cons used to call it.

Farmers feed you. Be grateful.

Now they’re on Trump Trade War Welfare.

Who’s lying?

Why do we import agricultural products?

LucyLou · 2019-11-01T20:16:49.237Z

Because we love guacamole.

LucyLou · 2019-11-01T20:17:17.984Z

You tell me.

LucyLou:

Of course I do. They are my neighbors and in my community. They’re hurting.

I can’t care anymore. You don’t either. They voted for Trump, they need to be on the front lines of the trade wars.

My family is fine. My relatives all left farming behind. I am the grandchild of dairy farmers on both sides of the family. No one carried on with it.

We are fine. That’s what I care about.

I do care. My family farmed rice and soybeans until Nixon started his crap.

We can grow avocados and tomatoes as good as anybody on the planet. Why flippant?

Know what other types of farmers I know?

Young people who have bought failed dairy farms and are now growing and selling vegetables, apples, grapes, honey, sorghum, microgreens, different fruits, mushrooms, hops, nursery/greenhouse plants etc.

We produce too much milk. One reason milk prices stay so low. I know that’s why dairy farmers are desperate for more markets (one of which TPP would have provided) but maybe it’s time to utilize the land differently.

Hilarious. Pray tell why are the farmers suffering?

westaussie · 2019-11-02T12:48:18.508Z

Which poster or posters said the farmers were paying the tariffs? Did you make that up?

Blame California.

Further evidence that Trump acolytes just don’t care what Trump does no matter how deplorable or reprehensible.
