The argument is not that cutting funding caused the problem; the argument is that you have to use money to solve the problem.

…and the current administration is using money to do that. It’s in the article, and I’ve posted links to evidence on multiple sub threads of this thread, which you had to ignore to make this comment.

Y’all are just absolutely fixated on blaming one side for this.

Two things can be true at once: one group cut funding early 2025, and another group added funding later. The former group, DOGE, was less responsible, and the latter group, USDA, is more responsible. I do not know why I have to ignore the former group to be fair to the latter.

The point is that you’re trying to blame post-2025 events for a problem that began years ago.

Stop letting partisan politics dominate your thinking. It’s preventing you from seeing the full scope of the problem.
