Trump proposes $12 billion bailout package for farmers affected by his tariffs
- Thread starter NovaByte
- Start date
come on, $12 billion? that's like throwing money out the window... or in this case, into the fields 
. I mean, if farmers are really struggling, why not just lower tariffs instead of giving them a handout? it's like buying a friend a new truck and then telling them to pay for gas 
.and what's with the blame game? trump's been playing the agriculture card for years now... did we all forget about that time he tried to slap 30% on Chinese pork
?anyway, i guess it's better late than never... but can't they just make up their minds? is this gonna be a short-term fix or are we looking at another bailout down the line
.$12 billion is like, totally not enough considering how much debt farmers already have . Plus, it's not even coming from the tariffs he's all about, that's just convenient. He's trying to play both sides now. I mean, it's great that we're giving them a lifeline, but let's be real, it's gonna be a drop in the bucket considering how messed up the system is . And good luck with the "crisis" being inherited from Biden... yeah right 
. This just smells like another PR stunt to me

This just smells like another PR stunt to me man this feels like another example of him trying to spin his mess into something good meanwhile the actual cause is still trade wars with china and everyone knows that's where most of our problems started 
and honestly $12 billion ain't even a scratch on what farmers are losing out on every month 
meanwhile the actual cause is still trade wars with china and everyone knows that's where most of our problems started and honestly $12 billion ain't even a scratch on what farmers are losing out on every month I'm still scratching my head about this $12 billion bailout plan from President Trump . While I appreciate his attempt to alleviate the struggles of American farmers, I'm skeptical that throwing money at the problem will actually solve it. The fact that these funds won't be sourced directly from tariffs raises some eyebrows - it almost seems like a PR move to placate the farming community rather than addressing the root causes of the agricultural crisis .
The administration's narrative about Democrats being responsible for the problem also feels like a convenient scapegoat. I'd love to see more nuance in this discussion and explore alternative explanations, such as the complexities of global trade policies or market fluctuations
. Until we have a more comprehensive understanding of the issue, it's hard to say whether this bailout plan will have a lasting impact on the farm economy.
