About two weeks ago, I read an article about how crops were rotting in fields because the migrant workers either were deported or just left out of fear of deportation.
Now today I read that Trump wants to put up $12 billion to farmers who are hurt by the trade war.
LET'S EXPLORE THE FIRST ONE.
CROPS ROTTING IN FIELDS...
The farmers need help harvesting crops. There are a lot of unemployed people out there.
1. Able-bodied Welfare Recipients
2. Those Collecting Unemployment
3. Unemployed Veterans
4. Unemployed ex-convicts
4. Prisoners of non-violent crimes
Why can't Trump pick up the slack--offer these people a decent wage--to go pick these crops?
It seems if he's willing to pay $12 billion dollars to farmers, why not put some of that money to good use by creating jobs?
I think that's what a REAL president would do.
NOW THE SECOND ONE:
$12 bILLION TO FARMERS TO WHO ARE HURT BY THE TRADE WAR...
Why can't the government buy up the crops, and distribute them to the food banks? The farmers want to sell their crops--not take a handout.
I THINK A REAL PRESIDENT WOULD THINK OF WHAT MIGHT BENEFIT THE PEOPLE RAHTER THAN PLACE A MONETARY VALUE ON THE SITUATION.
Not to mention, he is only offering this to keep their support. It's much easier to toss them a bone than to set a table.
This is what I think...
ANY THOUGHTS?

***
When Kate Fitzgerald dug up an aged skull on her aunt’s farm near the Cahokia, an archeology World Heritage Site, she thought she had a problem. When the skull turned out to be relatively modern and apparently belonged to a murder victim, she realized she had a bigger problem. But the skull and the rest of the skeleton were stolen. With the evidence gone the sheriff was no help, so Kate and her friend, Dave, an ex-newspaper reporter, do some investigating on their own. But the past becomes the present when arson and another murder occur.

A Good Book by a Talented Author.
I recently finished reading "Let Love In" by Melissa Collins, a talented author.
The story was quite good, even with the explicit language and the unabashed sex scenes.

"Let Love In" is the story of two broken people with a painful past. Together they can heal, but can they trust each other enough to stay? The emotions run high in this one! Grab a box of tissues and start reading!
Find it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Let-Love-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00CPE10JY/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1476730716&sr=1-1&keywords=Let+Love+in
