Surely American farmers won't accept Trump's socialism, will they...?

TrumponomicsSweet. We get higher prices and more debt.
Trump planning $12B in aid to farmers hard hit by tariffs
And borrows from the people that the tariffs were supposed to be against. LOL So we can pay them interest, and be extremely vulnerable should they decide to do to us what Eisenhower did to the Brits during the Suez Crisis.So trump creates a problem then borrows to fix the problem.
When you are dealing with tariffs, you have to look at both the costs and the benefits. Doing tariffs the way that Trump did is like trying to tune a Ferrari with a 4 lb sledge hammer.We had thousands and thousands of tariffs before trump. Tariffs are as American as baseball.
Did they ever get subsidized?
Well now, you don't have to worry about BMW exporting any more cars to China from the US. Because of the tariffs, BMW is moving US production to China.So trump creates a problem then borrows to fix the problem.
Lots of Presidents kicked the can down the road and refused to take on the unfair tariffs that were in place on US goods before Trump took office. Yes there will be some pain points as we even the playing field, but it must be done. Why liberals continue to defend China, the EU, and unfair trade practices is beyond me. It is almost like they hate the country they live in and are doing everything possible to wreck it.
Obama did nothing when China screwed the car industry. This is a quote from a 2011 article.
"General Motors faces the greatest impact, almost 22% extra on some sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and other cars with engine capacities above 2.5 litres. Chrysler faces a 15% penalty, while a 2% levy will be imposed on BMW, whose US plants make many of the cars it exports to China.
Existing taxes and duties already push up the cost of US imports by 25%, and the new levies make it even more expensive for Chinese consumers to buy American."
China imposes tariff on US car imports
Now you fucking bigoted cocksucker, we are paying $775 a night per child for the right to abuse those children. And guess who is making the profit off of that criminal action? For the whole time I have been alive, people from Mexico and other South American nations have worked our crops and done other menial jobs. And the vast majority of them are good people, I dare say, better people than you will ever be, and hard workers.Yes where is the money coming from?
Yes where is the money coming from?
From us taxpayers its called redistribution. Since the rich can hide most of their money , it will come from the median income people. We will also pay higher prices at the grocery stores, its the least we can do.
I’m thinking it’s coming from that Wetback fund...you know, all that cash we’re saving by shutting down the cockroaches at the southern border.
You don’t whine about taxpayers funding wetbacks do you...why not?
Silly ass, this is in addition to the present subsidies, and is only happening because of the idiotic way the cretin in the White House imposed these tariffs.Subsidizing farmers is a tenet of socialism. Government control of production is a basic socialism requirement that defines socialism.
That is infantile in the extreme.
All governments since the beginning of time have subsidized Farming.
Go back to reading your comic books
Exactly, other countries subsidize their industries, put high tariffs on US products, and reap mega-profits. Its about time the US demands fair trade and protects farmers from unfair trade practices!!

Socialism Or Bribes? Trump Finds $12 Billion To Buy Off Rural America

Trump's trade wars have brought misery to the nation's farmers, particularly in the Midwest, where their profits have taken a dive and meat is being warehoused rather than shipped.
While the trade wars are terrible for farmers, they're not the only ones taking a hit. For every tariff Trump imposes, China, Canada and the EU apply their own, creating pain in nearly every industry there is.
But rural voters are Trump voters, so he decided to take care of them first.
Wait, so Trump did tariffs to try and break the trade gap of billions of dollars, only to GIVE farmers billions of dollars because they are getting killed by the tariffs.
Sounds to me like an absolute FAIL.
Trump knows you can fix any problem if you throw enough money at it
We must protect working class wages.

President Donald Trump has a new talking point: This economy ranks among the greatest in U.S. history. He tweeted late Monday that "In many ways this is the greatest economy in the HISTORY of America and the best time EVER to look for a job!" He followed that up Tuesday with a tweet saying the current conditions could be "the best economy in the history of our country."
Trumpo: “"In many ways this is the greatest economy in the HISTORY of America and the best time EVER to look for a job!" He followed that up Tuesday with a tweet saying the current conditions could be "the best economy in the history of our country."

Trumpo said long before he started the trade wars that he had already made the economy the greatest ever for the working class:

Trump says economy may be the 'greatest in history.' Let's check the record.
So how in the hell is Trumpo’s trade war policy supposed to be what you call protecting working class wages? Stirring up inflation is one of the worst things for working class wages.
Do other nations subsidize their farmers? Yes.
