To the Editor:
$12 billion. That is the amount of bailout for farmers who overwhelmingly voted for Trump. Why should my taxes pay to bailout people who are reaping the bitter harvest and consequences of their own actions?
Yes, the Somali Minnesota fraud is bad but compared to the farmer bailout, the $20 billion to Argentina bailout, the billion dollar retrofit of a Qatari jet, the billions at risk from Trumps corrupt cryptocurrency- the state fraud pales in comparison to the craven corruption of Trump’s administration.
And yet, my taxpayer has to bailout out farmers? You do not have my sympathy – farmers are the Welfare Queens of 2026.
Get off your lazy behinds expecting government money.
