That doesn’t appear to be the case here tho’...as Schumer said:

“”Over the past few years, the Concord grape crops have been larger than average nationally, with this year’s crop being no exception.””

I'm talking in general terms...about agriculture as a whole.Not necessarily about this situation which may,or may not,be an exception to the rule.

We pleaded for help last year in the NE with the drought. Nothing...except for a set aside for a year if you had a loan...no giveaways, no real help if you lost a crop or more. We were told there was nothing that could be done. BTW, crop insurance is not the same as health insurance (of old). When we had it and lost 2 acres of melons in a hurricane, we got $85 which was not even a dent in the seed cost.

I thought the alt-left was against capitalism.

Why the hell don’t they make wine with it and let the free market take care of the problem instead of hammering the tax slaves — AGAIN!

Schumer’s pockets must be in need of relining.
Yesterday I saw his daughter, Amy, sitting in
the front row of Judge Judy’s studio audience.
As you may know, these court room audiences are
not just people off the street. They are much
too heavily weighted towards the young, blonde,
and comely. If fact, they are “extras,” wannabe
Hollywood stars who get paid a small amount for
their being in the audience. Amy mugged amply
from her seat and pulled faces when on camera.
Dad must have cut her allowance.

“Schumer’s pockets must be in need of relining.”

Yes. More than likely it is Schumer’s buddies that will be distributing these $18,000,000. And knowing the dems, some of it will end up in Schumer’s pocket.

This is BS. The NY grape growers will profit more than if they weren’t subsidized this way, and of course the Democrats are right there with their hand out, and the look in the eye IF the growers don’t cough up a healthy portion of those profits to the Democrats.

Democrats acting as though they are still running the country, because they are with their embedded deep state membership still in place. The lefties have to be weeded out if we are to ever see the Swamp get drained.

didn’t republican leadership let the item get through. That’s where the blame is, the majority. This type of incident illustrates why there is a uniparty and why Trump has a lot of challenges ahead.
