Farmers on the hook for millions after Trump freezes USDA funds

[Nithavela]

Worldly concerns, fears and complaints are not faith in God or obedience to his word

This forum is for discussing politics. I think it's uncharitable to go into such a forum and tell people to stop discussing.

I never said such a thing. I only stated a fact. I'm not wanting to be rude.

Ain’t happened yet. Kudos to you if it does

Yes. When making bad plans you can always just say the outcome hasn't happened yet!

 

[BPPLEE]

What is happening right now is the number of US farms are on decline.
US produce imports are increasing.
US produce exports are decreasing.
That's what is happening right now.

So this all has been going on and hasn't just happened in the last three weeks

Plans can be changed

Plans can be changed

its a lot smarter to make good plans in the first place, rather than waiting until bad consequences begin to emerge.

You have to break some eggs to make an omelette. When you're trying to accomplish a lot of things at once some mistakes are going to be made

Interesting the former vp of monsanto is now thr deputy head of the fda

I can't help but think this will not make things easier on rfk to enhance the food safety of your food supply. But I'm not convinced that's gonna happen either. That kinda change costs corporations money

Im not sure ita great to take the same attitude with ruling a world superpower as you would with making breakfast.

The inconvenience of a couple shells in my omelette is not as impactful or important as several hundred thousand people losing their jobs.

Yes it has. And given the last three weeks, announced actions are going to exacerbate the situation.

Trump had to bail out farmers his first term let's hope that he's learned something. Trump always starts with an extreme position and then negotiates

 

[Oompa Loompa]

He actually said this:



I have a lot of sympathy for people who get that^ trail of mush "wrong".... assuming its even possible to get it "right".

Again, I am not going to waste my time explaining what has already been explained by numerous other people.

And for some strange, unknown reason, Republicans stopped.

And that all started Jan 20th?

The left has a history of calling what's good bad and vice versa. For instance they considered Bidenomics to be a good plan. They considered shelling out tens of billions of dollars to superfluous programs a good plan. The considered letting corruption florish in those programs a good plan.They considered a huge chunk of federal employees being paid to stay at home and get 20% of their workload done a good plan. And so of course fixing that mess is considered a bad plan.

Neither strange or unknown. The administration responsible for it is gone. And they know the current administration is working to fix it. But they also know that It's so messed up, it might get worse before it gets better.

You give the Trump regime way too much credit, suggesting there are plans. With Trump you may recall, there are only, "concepts of plans."

Trump learns nothing.
The reason why we had to bailout farmers was because of tariffs. So he double downs more indiscriminately. The only people who have learned are these guys: "Chinese buyers switch to cheaper Brazilian soybeans ahead of Trump return."

It's in response to farmers in general and what's happening now regarding farmers.
And yes, what happen Jan 20th will make it worse.

Ah so all of that was already a problem under the Biden administration.
