Hey MAGA voters, especially the farmers among us. Let’s take a quiz:

1. Is giving a $31 billion handout saving money or spending money?
2. Is giving money to farmers that they did not earn with their hard work a welfare payment or not? If not, please explain in detail the differences between this type of spending and welfare.
3. Are we currently in a deficit situation and can we afford to spend this money? Please be specific on why this matters as a priority in a world of dramatic federal cost cutting.

Yep, them farmers love them some welfare. Long as it goes to them and not a brown or yellow person. Or a hungry child.

Row crop farmers have been slurping at the public trough for so long they think they earned it.

 

[HROT]

They did ‘earn’ it. They put up Trump signs

 

[onlyTheObvious]

Need to buy Casey’s stock. They will still be able to afford to stand around and bitch.

Hero’s ANF bla bla bla.

 

[Huey Grey]

No. They should get nothing. They voted for the pain let them feel the pain. I'm so sick of farmers voting in these pricks and then crying for welfare the moment their Taliban masters get control.

 

[Tiny Hands Trump]

Welfare for me, not for thee. The mantra of the rural American.

I hope you like crickets. Because that's what you're going to hear from those welfare queens.

I say we Doge the hell out of those payments. Then the poor farmers like here_4_ever can eat those damn crickets. They get to put food on their plate and we get rid of the annoying chirping.

Win win, plus they taste like popcorn.

I personally know the grandfathers of some of these younger farmers and they still cry and piss & moan in the same way. Same song, different generation.

Bootstraps!! When we take loans we pay them off!*

*Except when they get forgiven, or when we get all those goverment subsidies to help pay them, or when we support things like ethanol, but that's different. We've earned all that.

@markfromj hasn't posted since December 31. Hopefully it's that he is just sticking to a New Year's resolution and not something more serious.

It's a great form of trickle down.

Whatever helps your conscience when you cash those welfare checks.

Farmers got the FAHO down.

The only thing that trickles down is piss.

You can't receive farm subsidies if you don't own land, my dear! You wouldn't like the hours either! 🤣 🤡🤣

Yep. One of my brothers took over my dad's farm operation. New trucks, tractors, combines, you name it... Same old gripes and complaints.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

We can’t expect farmers to experience any pain for all these subsidy cuts planned for WIC and SNAP. Hungry kids will suffice.

At least someone in your family amounted to something!!

You can’t keep land if the government doesn’t give you a handout to make the land profitable.

 

[Mister_Man]

Can we finally remove that goddamn sticker? These aren't the days of bankruptcies and Willie Nelson's farmaid.

Not true. Renters can, and often do, receive certain government support payments. If fact the can scoop up nearly $45 for planted corn acreage and $30 an acre for soybeans just for signing up, and that is just the beginning.

Is the ANF thing for the poors that owns nothing but work on farms or the people that inherited the land and got it made the day they were born?

One of the emojis didn’t get the sarcasm. Not surprised. Russian bot.

Welfare for me, not for thee. The mantra of the rural American.

They just meant the kind of welfare that goes to the inner city breeders. Not the hard working, salt of the Earth, God fearing flag waiving heroes of the Heartland.

I suppose I could have explained that as well, but do you think the person I was replying to rents and tills anymore than it owns cropland? 🤡
