The Trump administration will provide $16 billion in aid to keep farmers afloat as they reel from the yearlong trade war between the U.S. and China, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue told reporters in a briefing on Thursday.

How is this like actual socialism? Does the government own the means of production? Do they control the economic exchange? Did the farmers have their land confiscated by the government? Do you even know what mother fricking socialism is?

You're going to have to talk to hank about your use of "muh". You obviously have not been versed in the finer arts of the use of "muh"

Taking everyone's tax money and handing it out to his trade war victims (voters). This absolutely is socialism.

I’m just glad we are concerned about the actual definition of socialism now.

Farming has been socialized for decades.

Would it be better to have a bunch of farmers go broke like they did in the 80’s and 90’s and let huge multinationals (Chinese and European) buy them up?

We would have to bring back Farm Aid

Nope.

If Obamacare was socialism, then this is definitely socialism.

I'm just using the bar that has been set.

why exactly should anyone sympathize with these farmers anyway?

if you're not making money, do something else.

So taking total control of 1/3 of the economy. Setting all rules in that area by government dictate is the same as some more welfare for farmers during a temporary trade war

Nice spin.

Its bad. Call it a pay off or a hand out or smart leverage or a host of other monikers but trying to find a gotcha with the word socialism is retarded.

I’m pretty sure farmers work for a living...... I would say that most on welfare do not.
