The key grafs come later in the story:

Trump has floated a $15 billion bailout to help farmers hurt by the tariffs. It’s the second straight year the federal government will have to provide billions in assistance to farmers to help them cope with the trade.

Hurst called the prospect of another bailout financially inadequate and psychologically repulsive for farmers in Missouri.

“If they send us a check, we’ll cash it. But no, we’re not going to be happy about it,” Hurst said. “Whatever program they come up with, no way does it cover our losses.”

Giessel said many farmers weren’t made whole by the administration’s previous $12 billion bailout from last year. “They don’t just need to be swinging a bucket of money out here. It better be targeted and it better be a bigger bucket,” Giessel said.

Jenny Burgess, a first generation farmer who grows soybeans, wheat and corn on her farm near Sterling, Kansas, said she and her husband “don’t want to be government-paid farmers” but they’ll have little choice unless the trade dispute resolves.

“We want to stand on our own two feet,” she said.

ive seen some of the interviews “i’ve gotta feed my family”, “our livelihood is being threatened; patriotism is taking care of my own”, etc.

they were fine ‘standing on their own two feet’ and voting R as long as it was other people getting the royal screwing

so while i am sensitive to their individual plights, it’s really more of the same old same old, ‘what about mine’
