American farmers might finally realize that Trump isn't "for them."

In general, most Americans don't realize exactly how much the Federal Government provides until its gone. This was a huge topic in Michael Lewis' book, The Fifth Risk.

Farmers have been absolutely shat upon during Trump's tenure. This shutdown may finally make them realize that Trump just doesn't care about them.

Some choice excerpts:

 

While many rural conservatives may loathe the idea of Big Government, farmers and the federal government are welded together by dozens of programs and billions of dollars in spending.

Now, farmers and farm groups say that federal crop payments have stopped flowing. Farmers cannot get federally backed operating loans to buy seed for their spring planting, or feed for their livestock. They cannot look up new government data about beef prices or soybean yields to make decisions about planting and selling their goods in an ever-changing global market.

 

God bless the idiots:

“I may lose the farm, but I strongly feel we need some border security,” Mr. Nunnery said.
