| Yes "the blame" has to ultimately fall on all us idiots that walk into the voting booth or send in our ballots, the politician is an amalgamation of their constituents. The mess is like a Jenga tower where each block threatens more blocks or the entire tower. When the government rightfully attempts to correct the US trade imbalance, it hurts farmers for example, it was foolish that farmers and farm groups depended on the US having a $400 billion trade deficit with a country that bought $20 billion in soybeans, but when that went away in the process, it put them in line for bankruptcy .
I could justify a couple "one time" checks to help, however so many of these guys 5 yrs ago were planting with a 1486 and 12 row planter, now pull a 36 row with a Quadtrac and buy any farm up for sale that`s under $15,000. Everybody is a mini Monet Farms these days and require a steady stream of government checks to keep from being a statistic.
The US spends $7 trillion a yr and has $5 trillion revenue, the $30 billion they send to farmers is a drop in the bucket. But in that annual $2 Trillion shortfall there are a list of little birds chirping with mouths open for their morning worm. It adds up and no politician has a working "no button" if they do get in to work, the voters kick `em out . | |
