>Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) supported President Donald Trump’s $12 billion bailout for U.S. farmers to mitigate the damaging effects of the trade war. Now the senator is applying for those same bailout funds for his own 750-acre Iowa farm, The Washington Post reports.

# My thoughts on this news
Just another example of the corporate takeover of the US government.  These politicians are always yelling and screaming about how we cannot afford this and that, and how poor people need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and how socialism is bad.  But when it comes to them sucking at the teat of the US Government that is just fine.  So here we have a perfect example of millionaire Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) who is the owner of very large farms, applying for government bailouts.  The same bailouts he supported and President Trump created to help farmers.  The reason they had to create these bailout is because Trump's dumb ass decided to have a trade war with China and China decided not to buy crops from American farmers anymore.  So I guess socialism is fine in their eyes, when it is for rich Americans.
