How come its always repeal and replace, instead of just repeal?
I suppose the food stamp reductions are good news at least.
$90 a month times 850, 000 recipients divided by workers, comes out to about $21 saved per month. Oh yay.

I just asked a question. I was looking for an answer to it. I wasn't looking for hypotheticals and more questions. So, does anyone know the answer to my question?
Don't farmers get the benefit of the government making sure the consumer prices of their produce don't go too low as well? Seriously, just asking.
...Thats significant because farmers need to know early how it might affect prices and what to expect for their corn, wheat or tobacco yields.
Cool lesson. FWIW, I dont disdain comercial agriculture, its a business. The conservative side of me doesnt agree with subsidizing farms with tax dollars. As for the insurance. ...if a farmer can buy it, cool, but when things dont work out, either for the insurance company or the farmer, dont put the taxpayer on the hook.
And I agree about the "damn high risks and uncertain returns" but if ya cant make a profit, thats not really a taxpayers concern. I feel for the plight of farmers much like the plight of the small business man, but im not beholding to any particular "business" when it comes to tax money. Just makes no sense to help a farmer buy insurance for crops that might fail or helping a business buy insurance for a product that he cant sell. Thats not what tax dollars are for.
Nothing that a current producer doesn't already know, but an eye opener to those who don't know what wheat prices have done over the last 100 years. Closed at $5.56 today.

The price of grain didn't keep up with the cost of equipment either, lol.
Price of food is going to skyrocket now.
Guess the market thinks wheat does not need any moisture. IDK about up there but our crop is hurting for moisture right now.
