So apparently republicans keep on claiming that democrats and want 'socialism'.... as they watch Comrade Trump roll out a socialist policy to hand out massive guvmint subsidies to the farmers obliterated by his tariff policy.
The Trump Administration unveiled its latest package to help farmers survive a trade war with China, adopting a model that aims to avoid influencing production decisions. Corn futures fell.
The program includes $14.5 billion in direct payments to producers. Aid for most crops will be calculated based on what is grown in each county rather than just individual farmers’ plantings, U.S. Agriculture Department officials said Thursday. Farmers can expect their first payments by July or August.

Only $14.5 million to insure our Nation's food supply? That's less money that we provide to other countries to insure their food supplies. It's time we put America first and fully fund our food supply with REAL money.

^^^^^^^^ See? There's RealTool letting slip the truth about Republicans and socialism.
He calls for a socialist food supply system paid for with government money.

The closest Elkin ever got to a farm or a ranch was a re-run of "Green Acres."

See johnny? RealTool just reiterated that he's a socialist, and not one of you douche bags criticized him for it.
It's what frightened conservatives really want. They want to preach capitalism, but they want to live socialist.
Capitalism actually scares them. But it sounds good on the stump.

Apparently we don’t have money to fix the water in Flint or the infrastructure in Puerto Rico because Trump is spending all of our money to bail out farmers with a socialist welfare program that’s designed to offset massive financial losses from Trump’s stupid fucking trade war....

Trump is fighting the trade war which other presidents should have, but lacked the fortitude to do.
Surely even Elkin can realize the need for a more even playing field on trade?
As to farmers, Elkin has the same "feel" for agrarian life as Eva Gabor.
