The absolute devastation wrought on millions of people by outsourcing to China makes the farmers current tariff plight seem like a day at the toy store. The end game here is to level the playing field. If some bean farmers are the temporary casualty then so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know where the article came from: https://www.salon.com/2019/02/13/midwest-farmers-going-broke-at-record-rates-thanks-to-trumps-trade-war/ My Wife's nephew is a supervisor for a large farm equipment credit company, things are much worse since the tariffs, so much so they have changed he rules to give farmers more time to make payments. In the long run the pain now maybe worth it, but to say it isn't hurting lot's of people now is dishonest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the long run the pain now maybe worth it, but to say it isn't hurting lot's of people now is dishonest. To blame it on tariffs is also dishonest as well National figures Court data compiled by the American Farm Bureau Federation, a trade group, found that chapter 12 filings nationwide actually fell by about 1 percent in 2018, and that the 2018 level was below the 10-year average. "Bankruptcies are not at record levels," John Newton, the Farm Bureau’s chief economist, told PolitiFact. Longer-term statistics concur.
