Remember that sooper-communist policy where the us government would buy surplus crops to ensure that too much was grown for the sake of having enough when there were bad years and crop disasters?
It was Clinton… Nixon began dismantling it, Reagan for rid of government grain reserves, and Bill Clinton scrapped the last remaining big reserve mechanisms with the 1996 “Freedom to Farm Act”. That law explicitly moved U.S. farm policy away from supply management toward reliance on global markets.
When leftists tell liberals that Democrats are a different side of the same coin, it’s because of shit like this. Everything horrible were dealing with is neo-liberal policies set in motion decades ago, and was called the lesser evil at the time. We’re out of time, we need a revolution.
