Did Grain subsidies to Europe cause the Great Depression 12 28 2019

Did Grain subsidies to Europe cause the Great Depression 12 28 2019

From my read of things during WW1 we shipped a lot of grain to Europe.  And the President of the United Sates urged us to produce more in order to do so.

The American farmer bought more farm equipment.

However after the war those countries fed themselves and even exported.

And the price of grain went down forcing the U.S. farmer into bankruptcy.


And here is the kicker.  The United States farmer still had to pay the bank for his tractor, however we gave 8000 tractors to Russia during WW2.

So I started off writing this wondering if FDR was just shipping as much of our food as he could to Europe in WW2 so that the American didn't have any to eat.  And I got a little different answer.  And perhaps I still haven't answered that question.

Wait actually I did.  We shipped them 4,478,000 tons of food.  That is 8.956 Billion pounds of food.

And so I just read that a Internet company CEO is worth $79 billion dollars.  That is money that was siphoned out of the United States?  How do I know?  Because it is being used to house the homeless is it.  And that money is made from the intellectual property of those who have a high chance of becoming homeless.. because of that?  And that is just one company.

So the solution to that is in the U.S. if you have assets over a certain amount and we have homeless that amount becomes lessened until we don't have homeless.  Unless of course you want to solve the problem before someone that is actually strong minded steps into government and does it instead.

Would our Founding Fathers who fought in the Revolutionary War against Great Britain have minded it if the Government of Great Britain had fallen?  And a better one arisen in its place?  Obviously not.

Believe it or not there is a certain faction in our country today that my thinking makes extremely miserable!
