Re: The President-Elect Joe Biden Thread

Direct farm aid has climbed each year of Trump’s presidency, from $11.5 billion in 2017 to more than $32 billion this year — an all-time high, with potentially far more funding still to come in 2020, amounting to about two-thirds of the cost of the entire Department of Housing and Urban Development and more than the Agriculture Department’s $24 billion discretionary budget, according to a POLITICO analysis. But lawmakers have taken a largely hands-off approach, letting the department decide who gets the money and how much.

The massive payments have been a political boon to Trump in farm country — he tweeted in January that he hoped the money would be “the thing they will most remember” — but risk creating a culture of dependency, as farmers and ranchers work the bonus subsidies into their financial plans when making large, up-front investments in seed, feed and farm machinery.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...ailouts-359932

With the latest $14 billion farm aid package announced in Wisconsin on Sept. 17, federal payments to farmers are expected to reach a record $51.2 billion this year. The government’s share of farmers’ net cash income will also rise to 39.7%, the biggest in 20 years.

Net cash income is a closely watched indicator of farm health that calculates the amount of money a farmer gets to keep after expenses. The Agriculture Department forecast net farm income would rise 4% in 2020 from last year even before the most recent aid announcement.

‘VOTE BUYING’?

The latest COVID-19 aid package came at a time the farm economy was improving.

The Environmental Working Group, a health and environmental advocacy group, called the program “old-fashioned vote buying,” saying it did not send money to groups truly at risk. But USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue said the government talked to farmers and ranchers to design a plan that met the needs of those impacted by the pandemic.

An ex-cop held an A/C repairman at gunpoint over a false claim he had 750,000 fake ballots, police said



An air-conditioning repairman was driving his truck through Houston in late October when suddenly a black SUV slammed into his tail. When he got out, the SUV's driver leaped out and pointed a gun at his head, police said.

When police arrived, the gunman offered an incredible tale: The driver, he said, was the face of a vast election-fraud scheme and had about 750,000 fake ballots stuffed inside his truck.

That story was totally bogus, police now say. The man's truck was full of nothing but A/C parts, and the gunman - Mark Anthony Aguirre, a former Houston Police Department captain - had been paid more than $250,000 by a right-wing organization to pursue far-fetched voter-fraud conspiracy theories.

Much of that money is going to the big Corp Farms, it's the small independent farmers still hurting and getting the small end!

This is true.

Source: Aunt/uncle/cousins are small dairy farmers, been struggling just to get by for years now. 24/7/365 they milk cows. A lot of their friends/neighbors have quit farming as it's not sustainable to make a living anymore.

G1, let me be the first to admit I'm a sucker. Here I am waiting for my $1200 socialist welfare check that will go right into my savings when I could be out there making 250 thou tracking down election fraud. For that amount I'll go find the printer that Shillary printed the fraud ballots on in the basement of her sex slave pizza shop.

Re: The President-Elect Joe Biden Thread

Subsidies always have unintended consequences or intended consequences that are hidden from the public.

Same with our bullshit tax code.

The rich get richer and we hold the bag (of shit).

Flat tax (personal, no tax on the 1st 40k for everyone, business, flat tax on all revenue). No write-offs, loopholes, subsidies, etc.

All those things help rich people get richer. I'm all for people getting rich, but they don't need help.

Re: The President-Elect Joe Biden Thread

This article just made me laugh. Man, Fox really hates Obama huh? Biden has a town hall and this is what Fox reports on. Quality journalism.

Snubbed by Obama? Biden says White House 'residence' was unseen by him - until he moved in

Fox has literally devolved into 100 percent entertainment television. I feel like every show on it should start with “the following is based on complete bullshit”.
It has literally become fictional.
