Dairy farmers to Trump: We need more subsidies

[Yosemito]

Dairy farmers sent Donald Trump a letter telling him that the subsidies he gave them are not enough to make up for the money they have lost as a result of the trade war:

The dairy industry has been particularly critical of the program and, in a letter to Mr. Perdue, asked the administration to rethink how it calculates subsidies and to make them more generous to dairy farmers. The milk federation expects dairy farmers to lose $1.5 billion from the tariffs in the second half of this year and it has received only $127 million in aid.

Maybe farmers should start voting for Democrats.

2. The men should work harder to change that culture of relying on the government.

Even their music glorifies that lifestyle, making it sound attractive. Why don't they get a real job that doesn't wait around for handouts?

14. hating on mexicans was worth losing their farms.

it's not like they didn't know.

States like Iowa benefit massively from trade and they go and vote for a xenophobe.

5. Remember when Republicans criticized Democrats for the farm subsidies?

[Demsrule86]

6. Oh dear, I don't think new subsidies are coming...perhaps you shouldn't vote for folks who enact

harmful policies because they have an "R" next to their name.

[LiberalFighter]

7. Rather than a letter demanding more subsidies

it should be a letter demanding his resignation.

9. Too bad I didn't see very many signs for democrats in the farmers yards this fall.

But lot of republican signs. I live in WI farm country and they support Trump like he is the second coming. It drives me crazy, the farmers will vote for Trump no matter what. Why, he protects their guns. The right has convinced them that the left wants their guns for hunting. Thank God, we are getting rid of Walker.
