Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

From his own pocket right? Because his stupid decisions put them in that situation. I would like to see what percentage of money goes to small farms and what money goes to huge corporate farms.
Oh nice that they get one but no one fucking else does.
Well, without them we all die of starvation, so, yeah they should have a safety net. Unless you and everyone you know wants to become a farmer, mass production farms are how we feed billions of people.
Of course, but from what I'm understanding these subsidies are going to the farmers who's soybeans weren't bought by China because of Trump's tariffs so they weren't domestic food to begin with. Now they will probably rot somewhere instead. Starvation never entered the picture, this is all about money. I'd love to own a farm, sure.
Starvation never entered the picture because there is a safety net and has been one since the dust bowl. Farmgate value for most products is terrible which is why they get so many subsidies and tax breaks.
It's a shame their products aren't valued more, since they are the raw materials for so much including life. I still don't support bailing out farmers who voted for this. I guess I would rather bail out farmers than bankers or oil barons or ranchers, as if I have a choice. Anyways, we can't be sure this money is even going to the right people with this admin.
