kick off for these suckers to apply for their Operating Loans at the local ASCS offices. Watched some of the reactions the last shut down in those Corporate Farm areas in the Mid West. Some were forced to liquidate in order to remain solvent . Others lost their lines of Credit . And this is the time of year to purchase Seed and Fertilizer as well as Fuel.

And with Cash Prices being as low as they are,there will be tons of nervous people out there.

did get one hell of a Tax Break in this last wealth transfer Legislation. And this will know doubt be used as leverage when they hit their Bankers of Operating Loans. Again,I understand the details of the give away are still in process and after last night,that will prove interesting in the short term.

Here is one thing that is truly a theft via legislation. One hundred Percent of any major operational expense that used to be Amortized and Depreciated can now be taken as a write off in the first year. If a Farmer converts to a LLC,he is Tax Free for the rest of his days. Wouldn't you like to be able to write off all you expense and capital needs on day one.

who is trying to make a difference. The playing field has now be tilted so against the worker in favor of the Corporate Thieves.

When all the State Legislatures go into their annual and bi-annual Sessions,you can just see how State and Local Tax Structures are going to have to change. Most States have to have a Balanced Budget by Law,and those Federal Dollars are about to be wacked for most Blue States as a method to punish their residents for voting for Democratic ideals. Two years from now,the real pain will be felt when States will be forced to cut Education and Infrastructure as well as payments in kind for Health and Insurance programs.

Last November after the election. Although we are very blessed and he has seen substantial recovery he will likely never work again. I have healthcare and a decent job but we will always struggle now and I will retire only when I drop dead.

Paid my first Income tax at 10 and that continued for 62 years. Most likely would still be working away,but had to have a body part replaced and that was finally it. After flunking retirement four times,kind of getting use to it.

Sad when one get clobbered with a major health issue and their partner has to keep on keeping on. That is why we need a National Health Care system like Canada and Germany and most other Countries.

Someone posted a story last night about the huge number of Cuban Doctors who came into the Country in order to help with the Flu out break. Don''t let Donnie the Stupid find out.
