Of course they need help. Trump’s tariff war with China has left them without a major market, and they are hurting. I have no objection to using taxpayer money to bail them out, provided:
1. they prove they are American citizens. I worry that illegals may be taking advantage of this windfall. I believe that any grower who takes federal aid should be happy to prove he or she is an American citizen. Get your papers, stand in line, and prove you are a citizen.
2. they take a drug test.
3. they don’t spend their grant on cigarettes, sugary soda, or lottery tickets. I heard that a number of them are taking their windfall and using it to buy items like steak and caviar. This cannot be allowed.
4. they admit that the trade war is idiotic, will hurt Americans, and is the result of a demented President who doesn’t understand what a tariff does. That shouldn’t be a problem. If it is, and if they still say things like “Yes, it hurts, but I understand why he is doing it,” then they obviously don’t need our support, and they know where they can stick their soybeans.
