Kansas Sen Pat Roberts SHOCKED that Trump would cut farmers insurance subsidies.....
After he told him last year he wouldn't. Gosh Pat,sucks to be LIED to eh??? What's happening is that farmers buy crop insurance but don't pay the full price--it's subsidized by the Federal Guberment. Trump wants to drop those subsidies from 62% to 48% of the cost so Pat's underwear is in a wad.
Strange...he doesn't give a rats ass if 100% of ACA subsidies for HUMANS would go away--in fact he voted for that to happen.

When social programs begin to die off for lack of funding.
It’s yet another variant of Republican hubris: “He ain’t talkin’ ‘bout us, he’s talkin’ ‘bout coloreds ‘n mezzikins.”
who is pissed off that she was lied to about Healthcare payments before she signed onto the Tax Scam. 
whether or not they are a senator or congressperson just to distinguish between the two parties' reps regardless of the chamber they work in.
"7 times 70"? What does that equation refer to? 490 what? 
Thanks for explaining.
So why don't they find that to be big gubmint getting overly involved? 
At least for longer than 10 minutes. Others are behind this.
2. Farm subsidies are riddled with corruption. Republicans wouldn't let Democrats do anything about it, but as part of the current passion for slashing taxes on billionaires, some Republicans in congress are looking to clean this up a bit. Senator Grassley has a bill that supposedly would tidy up some while still maintaining a strong farm safety net, that's (in what's becoming classic Banana Republicanism) simultaneously tied up with kicking people off food stamps. See the conflict there? 
A small-farm advocate, the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, said it was heartening that Perdue’s list touched on issues of interest to small, diversified, and organic farmers, such as working lands conservation, ag research, and assistance for beginning farmers, but lamented that others, like local and regional marketing, were neglected. “We are also concerned by the suggestion of potentially disastrous changes to nutrition assistance programs,” said the NSAC’s Greg Fogel. “In this document, USDA seems to imply a fundamental change in our food security programs that could not only challenge the Agency’s antihunger objectives but also could seriously risk the timely passage of a new farm bill.”
House Agriculture Chairman Michael Conaway said in The New Yorker that the biggest fight in the farm bill may be over food stamps rather than farm assistance. “I don’t want it to be just a Republican bill, and that’s going to be a challenge,” said Conaway.
