Yep, and the last bail-out for farmers went almost entirely to the largest industrial farms. Family farms got zilch.

Democrats need to block any and all bailouts unless conditions are met. What conditions? End the tariff war. End DOGE. Restore funds to agencies Trump and Musk have destroyed. The list goes on. Or...

All bailout funds come from the Pentagon budget starting with any and all funds given to Musk's companies.

The question is, how much of the bailout money will wind up in the Republican President's pocket. I see this, in part, as another scam to direct public funds to his own use?

My bad! Trump would never do such a disgusting thing! /s

And as usual with bailouts, the farmer bailouts went predominantly to big agribusiness. The top 1% of farmers got 23% of the money.

Why bail them out? He doesn't need them anymore, and he can bribes from Big Ag instead.
