GOP Hypocrites Go Silent As Trump's Trade War Bailout Costs Twice As Much As Obama Auto Bailout

[ffr]

The Trump farmer bailout is now twice as big as the Obama auto bailout and the same Republicans who criticized Obama are saying nothing to Trump.

Bloomberg reported:
China hawks in Trump’s administration want Beijing to quit subsidizing strategic industries, yet that hasn’t deterred the White House from doling out billions in aid to American farmers, who have become more dependent on government money than they’ve been in years. At $28 billion so far, the farm rescue is more than twice as expensive as the 2009 bailout of Detroit’s Big Three automakers, which cost taxpayers $12 billion. - PoliticusUSA

AND the auto industry bailout was a result of the GOP's recklessly created financial crisis that brought the financial markets to a halt and the economy and job losses into free-fall.

How anyone could equate conservative republicans to sound economic policy is not only dishonest, but reprehensible.

7. There is so much the repubs need to be challenged on.

Claims they make that are just lies, but have stood over time, largely because our side never seriously challenges them.

> Conservative - There's nothing conservative about today's republican party.

> Fiscally responsible - Bush2 started two wars & gave out giant tax cuts & ended his term with one of the worst financial crisis since the Depression.

> Patriotic - Today's GOP leadership has put party over country

> Party of small government - The only part of government they want small enough to drown in a bathtub, is anything that serves We the People. Funds, programs, regulations–if it helps the little guy, then it's got to go.

> Party of family values - My family is valuable. Yours? Not so much.

> Party of God - While I don't want our party to make this claim, the GOP making this claim needs to be challenged.

Our side should have an ad campaign hitting on each of these hypocritical narratives that have existed for decades.
