But you do know human nature. Do you think conservative farmers who are struggling are going to refuse to take government funds?

If someone is having a heart attack are they going to refuse to go to hospital that is backed by the federal government?

I doubt they would refuse government money, IDK.

It's kind of how I feel about Social Security. I'm not going to refuse it, especially since I have paid into it my entire working life. But I'd rather it didn't exist, and I know it isn't sustainable.

That isn’t true either. Worse case if nothing changes, there would need to be a 20% cut in benefits. I am 51 and have modeled that in my retirement projections
