Not if Musk has his way

Expand full comment

Trump's Chief of Staff and other cabinet officisals will only let Musk destroy parts of the federal government they don't like or think they need.

Trump's not smart enough to know why he needs the CCC, but his Secretary of Agriculture likely will be. It's not like using the CCC to borrow $28 billon was Trump's idea. Because it didn't involve him having to sign anything, I seriously doubt he even knows where that money came from. Trump just knows that "he" provided money to farmers (which he bragged about in 2019.)

They'll gut the rest of the USDA, but the CCC will stay. Remember, for Republicans corporate welfare is completely acceptable. I wouldn't be surprised if big agribusinesses got most of that $28 billion.
