So F them. A small minority of farmers may be progressive-minded, and may be hurt a little.

But F them all. Let Trump pass this legislation. We get no credit for being the "adults in the room". It is time we started prioritizing our own interests. This is a big reason why so many Americans say "both parties are the same". They see us a sway too quick to compromise and way too unwilling to fight for the things we say we believe in.

As a practical matter, any work that Trump has to put into passing a farm bill is less attention to destroying some other agency. Let's see what the Republicans can do with zero Democratic votes.
