Who believes that any of that $12 billion will go to actual farmers?

[dansolo]

This money is a bailout for big ag so their earnings don't take a nose dive. I don't believe for a minute that it will be used to actually help farmers.

[vlyons]

1. most will go to big agri-business

to small family farms - not too much I suspect

[Brother Buzz]

4. And the agri-business bean counters will be cashing checks for.....

Soybean crops planted in ledger books, bank on it.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Yup,that is where most of this money will land.

Heard the Two big Hog Raisers,who BTW gave millions to the Trump and Ryan Campaign Funds,are going to have a mega payday.

[Brother Buzz]

13. The National Pork Producers Council has been spreading a ton of money around

I just read yesterday, they are one of the major contributors to Devin Nunes' campaign. The hog industry is dirty from the top down.

[Wellstone ruled]

18. Funny thing,Nunes

District is a Dairy District for the most part. My guess is,PPC dump big bucks on Committee Chairs. Again,the two Mega Hog Operators are a couple of slimy players. The one owns the largest Paying Company here in Nevada .

9. That's exactly what I heard (n/t)

2. If it does, it'll be in amounts insufficient to make up for their losses. But that's not the point.

The point is to make the farmers think he's doing something for them.

3. Oh, ME! ME! ME!

.

I'm just asking for a fraction of a percent of the kickback money.

5. Corporations are people, my friend.

[Wounded Bear]

6. Yep, rich, greedy, malicious asshole 'people'...

[Achilleaze]

7. this is a socialist republican welfare handout to Ag corporations

make no mistake. Those corps are then going to make generous "campaign donations" to the republicans - and the American taxpayers will have been screwed out of another $12 billion by the freaking age-old republican welfare-for-corportions scheme.

[defacto7]

10. It will go to their banks to pay debts.

The farmer is just the middle man.

[kentuck]

12. 1% to small farms ...

I had read.

[onecent]

14. The 12 billion with go in Farmer Drump pockets...

[delisen]

15. Payoffs to Donors-Another Big Scam

[Sneederbunk]

16. Not I said the cow.

[DFW]

17. Oh, I'm sure some will, after administrative costs

Too bad the administrative costs will total around $11,999,999,990.
