The long-term plan seems to be renegotiating trade deals to benefit American farmers and businesses, or a trade war. From the WSJ:I appreciate the response.
So what is the long-term plan? Should we start thinking of an increasing amount of governmental subsidies given to farmers as the new normal?
This. I love free markets as much as the next capitalist but when other countries subsidize their food production, place tariffs on our food exports, and manipulate their currency, it puts our producers at a serious disadvantage.Nothing free market about what is going on now. Free market is tariff free.
Thank god we have the master negotiator on it.This. I love free markets as much as the next capitalist but when other countries subsidize their food production, place tariffs on our food exports, and manipulate their currency, it puts our producers at a serious disadvantage.

Do you not have a problem with the fact that Trump's tariffs are leading to the need for these subsidies? This is a self-inflicted wound that Trump is now trying to heal with EVEN MORE SPENDING.The farm economy is different from the overall economy. Commodity prices have been depressed for a good while now.
I'm fiscally conservative and don't like government subsidies either; however, farmers face unique production risks and operating cycles. Subsidies such as these are quite necessary and the costs are worth the benefits to the entire country, IMO. We really don't want to screw around with something as important as the food supply and have a lot of producers go out of business at the same time.
I’m an anarchist, but cool story bro. I hate Hillary also. I hate trump’s tariffs because everybody said this would happen.Ohhhhh those Liberal tears taste so sweeettttt!!!!! We just keep on winning!
Your beloved Hillary is a criminal!!!!
Lock her up!!!
I’m not sure I understand the answer. The unique production risks and operating cycles you mention would still apply in a tariff-free world. I guess you’re saying that margins are being squeezed due to the current tariffs?The long-term plan seems to be renegotiating trade deals to benefit American farmers and businesses, or a trade war. From the WSJ:
“This is a short-term solution that will give President Trump and his administration time to work on long-term trade deals,” Mr. Perdue told reporters.

I agree that our agriculture industry is vital to America. But it is maddening to think that the reason they are in need of subsidies is because of Trump's tariffs. This is $12billion in spending that is the direct result of this idiotic trade policy. Its the exact thing that many of us argued on this board would happen when he started levying these tariffs.
What has happened to the Republican party? It used to be the party of free trade, now they support these crazy tariffs Trump is levying and are pulling out of beneficial free trade agreements. It used to be the party of law and order, but now they are following Trump as he tries to destroy our law enforcement institutions and intelligence agencies. It used to be the party of limited spending and balanced budgets but now they are spending at an unprecedented rate and running unprecedented deficits and we are not even in an economic down turn when this type of deficit spending usually occurs out of necessity. Here is another $12 billion. It used to be hawkish on defending freedom around the world and promoting and protecting our Democratic allies against power hungry authoritarian dictatorships and regimes. Now the republicans are watching their leader destroy and diminish NATO, alienate our Democratic allies, and cozy up to authoritarian dictators like Putin, Ertowan, Xi, Kim, etc.
I could keep going but it's not even worth it anymore. It pains me to see the party of Reagan fall to these lows.
and so it came to pass that democracy crumbled in the west. Under the weight of its on narcissism and cynicism.Because I honestly don't think either side cares about the issues anymore. I think both just want to "win" to the detriment of the other. A few years ago the blue team was on top, now it's the red. That's politics in a nutshell these days.
