Arkansas farmers are pleading with US government to save them -- many face bankruptcy. Here's what Trump is offering

[In It to Win It]

Arkansas farmers are sounding the alarm claiming that a deteriorating global economy and soaring costs are pushing them to the brink of disaster.

As tariffs begin to bite, the state’s farmers are pleading for emergency funding [1] as they stare down bankruptcy and foreclosure.

Hundreds of farmers recently took their pleas to Arkansas’ congressional delegation in Brookland, a community in the northeastern part of the state.

“If there’s no emergency funding this year, there will be one out of three farmers who will file bankruptcy,” said Chris King, a Woodruff County farmer who attended the event.

The farmers clearly see their situation as dire. Here’s what’s going on.

1. What? People pictured the FO part of FAFO as mild embarrassment?

2. Some will suicide

Some may turn violence to others

Food prices will keep climbing as Big Ag buys up more and more of the farmland.

3. Seems like some have developed a dependency on emergency funding.

Haven't we all heard it said time and time again that once these people get on welfare they never get off? You go out into the country and all these welfare farmers are driving around in new trucks, all decked out with tinted windows and nice wheels. They've all got the latest side-by-sides and UTV's, 44 gun safes, and they drive around in air-conditioned tractors listening to who knows what. In the mean time hard working Americans in blue states are paying their way and the government isn't doing anything about it.
I say they need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, get rid of all those expensive toys, and start working harder.

7. They wanted welfare cuts...let them have welfare cuts

I'll bet they overwhelmingly voted for mango Mussolini so that he would hurt black or brown people.

Fafo is setting in.

9. The whole world is hungry, why dont they grow something people need?

[Aristus]

11. Bravo!

About fucking time someone put reality into terms even the hillbillies can understand.

Well said!

[JI7]

18. All while they claim about black and brown people

complain about some black kid with a phone and other shit.

[Freddie]

4. Remind us again who most of them voted for

[Mysterian]

5. Trump voters begging for socialism?

Imagine that!

[sinkingfeeling]

6. Too bad they couldn't see their situation last November.

[marble falls]

8. They voted for TACO twice. Hell with them.

[Volaris]

[Blue Full Moon]

12. They made their bed. Lie in it.

[hatrack]

13. Yum! Faces - my favorite!!

[Ilsa]

14. Have any of them blamed Dear Leader yet?

I don't want to hear a word from them until they own their fuckups.

[hatrack]

16. Yes, that'll happen right before they blame themselves and their own political choices . .

. . . i.e. never.

[LR3]

15. Leopards...faces

And they will still for a Republican next time, too, because brown people exist.

From the article:
Farmers like Trump’s tariffs
Despite the uncertainty caused by the tariffs, American farmers still see the president’s flagship policy as a long-term win.

A May survey by Purdue University of American producers found that 70% believe the tariffs will ultimately strengthen their industry [7].

17. It would be interesting

If they were asked, what exactly makes the tariffs a “long term win”?

I doubt any one of them could explain anything about the tariffs….


And then some voice on AM hate radio will tell them they are going bankrupt because of the Dems….

[Renew Deal]

19. No bailouts, especially if it's to the people that voted for this.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

20. Theyll get bailouts...

[Mysterian]

22. The "fiscal conservative" republicans raised the debt ceiling by $5 TRILLION

so they will surely borrow billions from China et al to give these farmers a handout. But don't call it welfare.

[madinmaryland]

21. Thoughts and Prayers?

[B.See]

23. Hey MAGAS. Are ya "great again" yet??
