As always, Democrats will vote in a way to try get everyone to succeed.
Republicans vote to make sure everyone they don't like won't.

San Diego's spiny lobster fishermen are facing one of their toughest seasons in years as wholesale prices have crashed to near-record lows, threatening the viability of California's third most economically valuable fishery.
Fishmonger Tommy Gomes says the spiny lobster that sold for $20-24 per pound last year is now fetching just $7-10 per pound prices lower than even during the pandemic shutdown.
Of course we're a Blue state, so fRump is happy with even more destruction.

In his first go round Trump lost the entire sorghum market we had with China that should have
told them something.
Btw the bailout money for the farmers is not coming from tariff funds it is coming from the American
people. That is an outright lie.
BTW part 2 any surplus funds that Trump brings in via his tariffs is from the American people paying
more for imported goods it is not coming from the producers of the goods and it is not coming from
foreign nations.
