Subject: RE: Most stellar, not sure I would go there



Southeast Colorado
I didn't deserve mine...........it's all ridiculous and a race to the bottom.

The only reason anymore I could ever say it was right to receive these subsidies...........is if all other sectors of our economy and people are getting them. I'd much rather they all just quit. But if we're going to be devaluing the purchasing power of our money.........then I guess we all had better have wheel barrel fulls of it. Have you noticed what's happening to the value of any farm input you might be buying today? Maybe you don't even farm. I could have bought a better $50k used tractor a year ago than I can buy today for $80k. In one year!

If all they do is cut farm payments..............and use the money to do gender studies in a foreign nation, instead of actually just saving it, or not taxing it away in the first place..........then by all means send it on out to me. I realize we farmers are on the better side of the subsidy equation than most..............but now our industry is tied to it and the costs reflect that.

Funny thing..........I realize the last year's damage was under Trump's watch, and I don't like that. But I also saw it play out real time.........and the Dems were always wanting more. And now they are showing all signs of going for the throat now that they have the power. I could list specifics..........but this isn't the political forum............and I'm growing weary of this basically useless debate.
