Putin is going to replace American Farmers in China, oh jeez the stable genius strikes again

MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia would supply soy beans and poultry meat to China and that the United States had effectively given up on that market.

Putin was speaking at the Russia Calling annual investment forum.

Farmers think theyre going to get subsidized every year, have another think coming? LOTS of good things need to be funded in the USA.

Time to kill agricultural subsidies.

Farmers should have to suffer from this crap like the rest of us who get no subsidies.

You know, back in the day farmers got subsidies for failed crops due to acts of nature, not for voting someone into office who gives their market to another country.

Not only from the $$$ they receive but also the deterioration of democratic nation states.
They care nothing for the little people, be they Americans, Chinese or whomever.

And then taking our hard-earned tax dollars to buy off BigAG, Inc. and all its indentured, mortgaged servants on the farms.

Now the G.O.P.'s BEST FRIEND (and America's enemy) announces his plan to EAT OUR FRIKKING FARM LUNCH.

What's wrong with the republicans? So wrong wrong wrong.

This is a two-fold gift from Trump.

1) It benefits Russia. Almost everything Trump does has a Russian component to it.

2) It destroys the small farms so they are forced to auction or enter into lease agreements with BigAg.
