the farm economy supports the rural economy, farmers are not making money. you lose jobs, you lose schools, you lose health care. the farm economy is the backbone. rep. scott: i only have about 20 seconds left but in most of the counties i represent farmers are the ones paying the taxes to local government, the school system, police departments. if the local farmers can't make their ends meet, than nobody else is making their ends meet either in rural america. we want to get a good farm bill done but it has to be more than 10%. chair thompson: thank the gentleman. recognize the gentleman from massachusetts. >> my farmers tell me that uncertainty complicates and frustrates their livelihood and we are living in a time of great uncertainty. for the record, i don't think we can pretend like the last three weeks haven't even happened. we can't ignore what this administration is saying and doing. mr. chairman, the state of the rural economy in this country is declining by the minute because donald trump has decided to let elon musk put billionaires first in america last. i mean, come on. tariffs

in a intemperate, almost rash, unpredictable manner, and the farmers are hurt and the scientists are hurt, and before you know what, the schools are hurt and the families are hurt, that will play out over time, and there will be a debate over whether that's good policy. second is the baseline, the constitution and the rule of law and the efforts to use this and other clashes, which remember donald trump, you could say he ran on certain claims about the government. but this thing, this level of cuts, this automatic, without even involving his republican colleagues on the hill or the past laws that have already been put on the books and then doing it through his billionaire friend who's not even in the cabinet, won't even say to you, the taxpayer, that he'll pass any of the normal ethical and anti-corruption screening that is involved for every other cabinet member. this thing isn't what he campaigned on, and whether it is ultimately long term lawful to freeze the funding this way. that's the big debate right now, because the early judges, i'm not going to tell you what the supreme court will do in the future, but the early judg
