They weren't the only one. Chrysler was also bailed out. That's incorrect - the entire auto industry, worldwide, was in crisis at the time. Also, I think you missed the larger point of my 'example'. barfo
I rather assist independent farmers, as we do independent people in need, rather than a large Corporation that really didn't need the help, as they could have restructured, bankruptcy or simply managed their business with more fiscal responsibility. Im all for business big or small to be successful and prosperous, especially here in the good Old USA.
Assisting independent farmers wouldn't be killing off their market for political posturing. ….and farmers have Co-ops....often work together bring in the harvest....not every small farmer can afford to buy large combines....many share one amongst several farms...they answer to the weather normally, not a trade war. Trump doesn't actually give a shit about them.
You could right? I’m all for the farmer! I wonder who they will support next election. Not Trump if it’s a moderate but if it’s Bernie or EW not so sure. Joe or Klobachar could win, imo.
Problem with that thinking HG is that a lot of small businesses rely on large corporations for business as they often manufacture or provide a service for the large corporation. In Portland it was often said that when Freightliner sneezes several small businesses catch cold. In other words, when Freightliner had slowdowns and massive layoffs many small businesses would be hurting big time and possibly went out of business. I did a lot of business with Freightliner as well as several smaller local businesses that relied on business from Freightliner and we were a petroleum and chemical distributor and it affected us. Ignoring large business often has significant residual effects on many more smaller ones. Precision Cast Parts was similar in the effect it had on the economy locally. If one large corporation fails so do many smaller ones.
Looks like Booker might be out soon https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1057196
Excellant points, I was expressing my feeling on GM's getting bailed. If a company like GM gets bailed then others should too, like Freightliner when they had all their issue. Im all for balance and fairness.
I would expect every small farmer, would have several zeros behind the decimal before a digit is given when showing their percentage take. You might say it is .0ex or insignificant, but bet they like it.
You need to read this article from Reuters on the wealthiest farmers receiving almost all of Trump's farm aid. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...althiest-farmers-advocacy-group-idUSKCN1UP28K
That's too bad because I really like Booker. However, I think he's toast. My favorite, Buttigieg is also toast.
