Yeah. Trump voters are hurting. But if they don't care, why should anyone else?

"In the Midwest, bankruptcies totaled 223 filings and were up 19 percent from prior-year levels."Farmers are, traditionally, up to their eyeballs in debt. Sorry, but 223 bankruptcy filings isn't that bad. Basically, we're talking about 40 more bankruptcies in Wisconsin among dairy farms as a result of Trump's negotiation process. Given the huge debt farmers are usually dealing with, that's not that bad. This is the process. I had to take one for the team when the ACA was enacted; these guys are, too. Sorry. That's the price we pay for government intervention (the difference, of course, is I never once got any government subsidy, and they're subsidized out the ass; but I digress).
