A real taxpayer scam run by the USDA is their Rural Home Loan Program. The intent is to provide mortgages in rural locations where conventional lenders are wary of investing.
The reality is a lot of the locations where USDA makes home loans used to be rural but are now suburbs and subdivisons with 1/3 acre lots.
Great way to promote agriculture—/s
Horse crap
What is really crap is the loans they make to thier friends and family, that have nothing to do with the agri business, as well as the ones made to the politically connected.
