For all the talk about handouts, welfare queens, deficits, and socialism, I see a lot of millionaire farmers sucking down billions in wealth transferred from all the “coastal elites” they like to mock; the ones doing most of the earning and living and dying in this country. @NGrossman81/1318607794040430592Permalink On twitter.com

Aside from the non-Congressionally approved $16 billion a year in trade assistance and $38 billion through government corporations, a further $16 billion in COVID aid and $63 billion in direct subsidy is going to farmers. This will account for around 75% of all net farm income.On twitter.com

Maybe I'm a little unclear on what people calling themselves conservatives think constitutes cronyism, government dependence, and socialism, but I don't think any rational definition of those words can exclude this transfer of wealth from their political enemies to their allies.Permalink On twitter.com
