04 Jan Should the government subsidize farmers?
“President Trump declared a $12 billion program of farm subsidies to aid farmers hurt by his escalating trade war with China.
Proponents argue that the subsidies are necessary since net farm income has declined. Opponents say that the farmers who are not even producing are getting subsidies.
What do you think? Should the government subsidize farmers?”
Today is the day. Now is the moment. Vote for change.

Posted at 19:42h, 28 MayThe tariffs targeted at China are a great idea to level the playing field however, our farmers got caught in the middle and need help to survive. So Yes they should have help in the form of subsidized assistance.

Posted at 21:23h, 22 NovemberSorry Dean, Tariffs are nothing more then a tax and it is the end users that end up footing the bill bail them out and then we get to also pay for more costly products. Sorry the farmers have been sucking on the government teet way to long, and they are not the only ones. Why should the tax payers have to bail out the farmers for something the government has done? In this case increasing tariffs. Everyone talks about free and fair trade, tariffs are neither when it comes to trade.
