It is bad enough that they are having a lot of problems with the weather and now with Trumps tariffs and losing a market they need because of them it is hitting them even harder.

Way to miss the point. "Things will love aloud as they always do..."
And the left goesDamn!! More great US economic news; the Leftwhiner Panickens won't like this, especially since retail sales are such a significant driver of the US economy.

And I posted pages and pages of what the FARMERS are saying why don't you read some of them and actually learn what is going on with them?
The only person we caught putting out bullshit numbers was the Biden appointee lying about jobs data.

Cherry picked longtime dem agitators, for which you are a dupe; the Commerce Dept. speaks for the entire nation's production.
