Good news. I think I've come up with a policy idea that can both eliminate the harm that Trump's trade war is doing to farmers AND also reduce the cost of groceries for regular Americans. (You'll never guess what it is.)
Farmers get a bail out in the face of the costs they've born from Trump's trade war. Quite an admission that his policies have hurt Americans.
Now riddle me this: Why not bail out consumers who are paying more for imported goods?

It’s all so exhausting but stay engaged even when the news feels like a migraine wearing a trench coat. Authoritarianism counts on exhaustion. Democracy depends on very boring persistence.
