Farmers and Ranchers already get Cowmunist Welfare. When Rena said she was a “Redneck” she meant to say she was a Red. She is part of the Fake Rural Cosmology that makes farmers and ranchers Special People. Afterall, God elected them to feed the American People – and be ideal carriers of Jesus’s Divine Humbleness.
Wellllll………For starters, they don’t feed the American People – but the Chinese People, and, the U.S. Gov gives them free money to make Communists jolly and rotund. These Supermen are racists who want to see Human Welfare end for the poor minorities, so they will starve to death and vanish from all their land!
I get food stamps, and thus am proud to wear a communist flag around the house instead of a bathrobe. I want to make sure I’m not overlooked by being…………….too proud!
Ben Sasse does a fine rendition of a Rouge Whore who is too proud to get MORE COWMUNISM! Rena was born in Nebraska and really worked the notion I was a leftist parasite, while she worked her fingers to the bone – as a JANITOR! We all got a flag, and run it up the pole. This is why I want ‘The Royal Janitor’ to be BLOCKBUSTER!
What these Cowmunists can’t admit, is the Fraud they voted for – is buying their vote – after threatening them! Trump is making them crawl for their money as his buddy, Putin, giggles on the sideline!
“Better the Fed – than dead!”

Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb.:
No.
So, first of all, we should just back up and recognize that American farmers in general, but especially Nebraskan farmers and ranchers, I live in the most productive state in the history of agriculture right now. Our people feed the world. They don’t want bailouts. They want more trade.
And so, when you have tariffs, they’re a bad thing. And then you try to solve them with bailouts, another bad thing, you’re not heading in a good direction. You’re trying to make America 1929 again. And that’s not what the people in the state I represent want.
We want to feed the world. We want more markets. We want more trade.

The Trump administration is offering $12 billion in emergency aid to American farmers who have been hurt by the president’s escalating trade war with China and other countries.
“This is a short-term solution that will give President Trump and his administration the time to work on long-term trade deals,” said Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue.
Speaking at an event in Kansas City Tuesday, Trump said that “farmers will be the biggest beneficiary” of his efforts to secure more favorable trade deals. On Tuesday morning, the president tweeted:
Tariffs are the greatest! Either a country which has treated the United States unfairly on Trade negotiates a fair deal, or it gets hit with Tariffs. It’s as simple as that – and everybody’s talking! Remember, we are the “piggy bank” that’s being robbed. All will be Great!
How it will work: The plan, reportedly in the works for months, has three parts.
- It will provide direct financial assistance for producers of soybeans, sorghum, corn, wheat, cotton, pork and dairy.
- It will rely on the Department of Agriculture’s authority to stabilize the farm economy by buying excess supply. Fruit, nuts, rice, beef, pork and dairy products bought from farmers will be redistributed to federal nutrition assistance programs, according to Politico.
- A “trade promotion program” will work to find new markets for U.S. agricultural products.
The package of programs is authorized under the Depression-era Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act, according to Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, and thus does not require approval from Congress. The plan will take effect around Labor Day, with the $12 billion total “calculated to match the estimated $11 billion of economic damage that retaliatory tariffs will inflict on U.S. farmers,” officials told The Washington Post.
The response: Lawmakers, business groups and farmers have opposed the president’s tariffs, and while some in the GOP backed the aid plan, a number of Republican free-trade proponents criticized it harshly and expressed concern that access to markets lost under Trump’s trade war won’t be restored.
- “This is becoming more and more like a Soviet-type of economy here: Commissars deciding who’s going to be granted waivers, commissars in the administration figuring out how they’re going to sprinkle around benefits,” said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).
- “Our farmers have been in nonstop, saying they want trade, not aid, and now they’re being put on welfare,” Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) said, according to the Post.
- “If tariffs punish farmers, the answer is not welfare for farmers — the answer is remove the tariffs,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) tweeted.
- Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) said Trump’s trade war “is cutting the legs out from under farmers and White House’s ‘plan’ is to spend $12 billion on gold crutches.”
- Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) said the administration’s move was “encouraging for the short term. What farmers in Iowa and throughout rural America need in the long term are markets and opportunity, not government handouts.”
Why it matters: The aid package could have far-reaching economic consequences and will likely play a role in the elections this fall.
- “White House officials hope it will temporarily quiet some of the unease from farm groups, but the new plan could revive debates about taxpayer-funded bailouts and the degree to which Trump’s trade strategy is leading to unforeseen costs,” the Post’s Damian Paletta and Caitlin Dewey write.
- The aid funding may also mean that Trump’s trade war will be going on for some time. “The move is an indication that Mr. Trump — ignoring the concerns of farmers, their representatives in Congress, and even some of his own aides about the adverse consequences of a trade war he says he relishes — plans to plow forward in escalating his tariff tit-for-tat around the world,” The New York Times’s Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Ana Swanson say.
- Election politics may also be at play here. “The administration’s trade aid plan is also a bid to shore up support among a slice of the rural electorate ahead of the midterm elections,” Politico said.

Montana Republican Senator Steve Daines says he’s encouraged that President Trump appears interested in the US returning to negotiations to become part of Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal. And Daines said he told the President farmers and ranchers prefer access to international markets to subsidies that would protect them from tariffs.
Daines was one of several farm state Republicans invited to the White House by President Trump this morning to talk about trade as the US and China are threatening new tariffs and counter-tariffs. The Chinese are talking about a 25 percent duty on imports of beef and other US farm goods. President Trump has said he’ll, quote “take care of farmers,” who are hurt by Chinese tariffs.
Daines said, “the President was suggesting that there would be this, really, subsidies, perhaps that would be redirected. You know, tariffs come in and we redirect those subsidies to American farmers and ranchers. I can tell you what, unequivocally, the leaders who were in that room told the President, American farmers and ranchers don’t want that. They don’t want a handout. They want access to markets. He was surprised by that. He figured they’d be appreciative of that.”
Daines also said that President Trump appears interested in re-engaging in negotiations to join the Trans Pacific Partnership. Trump withdrew from those talks shortly after taking office.
“We suggested to the President that we re-engage with the Trans Pacific Partnership, or TPP,” Daines said. “That deal can be negotiated better for the United States, and that would result in significant wins for Montana agriculture, specifically beef and getting access to the Japan market through its significant tariff reduction.”
A statement issued by the White House after today’s meeting with farm state senators suggests the President’s position on TPP has not changed. The statement says, “the President has consistently said he would be open to a substantially better deal, including in his speech in Davos (Switzerland) earlier this year. To that end, he has asked Ambassador. Lighthizer and Director Kudlow to take another look at whether or not a better deal could be negotiated.”
