GAO launches investigation into Trump aid for farmers
The Government Accountability Office (GAO), Congress's nonpartisan audit agency, is opening an investigation into a program providing aid to farmers hit by President Trump's trade wars.
“It’s clear that the Trump Administration’s trade assistance payments pick winners and losers rather than help the farmers who have been hit the hardest by this president’s trade policies,” said Sen. Debbie Stabenow (Mich.), the top Democrat on the Senate Agriculture Committee, who requested the investigation last month.
“This investigation will shed more light on what has been happening, and bring accountability and fairness to a program that has spent billions of taxpayer dollars," she added.
The Trump administration announced the aid program, called the Market Facilitation Program, in August of 2018, as a trade war with China heated up, leading to significant tariffs on U.S. agriculture such as soybeans.
The tariffs hit hard, leading to a spike in farm bankruptcies.
The Agriculture Department (USDA) pledged $12 billion in aid in 2018 and an additional $14.5 billion in 2019.
One study found that between disaster aid, trade aid, insurance indemnities and the trade assistance, almost 40 percent of farm income was coming from some sort of aid.

They are tearing the country down just to promote " free shit for all" " anti-gun " and the over taxation in those areas.
CA is no longer the 'golden state' but more the " needles and poop " state.
