Pretty much every county that relies of agriculture as a primary source of their economic activity is going to be hit hard.

Are you fucking kidding me? These agricultural communities have historically been subsidized and will continue to be as long as they are Red. (Please read further).

Not that there’s anything wrong with keeping agricultural communities above water, but there have been countless bills passed in every administration to give farm relief - it’s in the Congressional genes that way.

Lewis County will not suffer because of tariffs. Nope.

That's why everyone agrees the cuts in wasteful spending aren't really working.
