Mike Simpson: “We are going to try.”

I regularly hear from farmers, ranchers, and producers in Idaho, and their main concern over the years has been when Congress will reauthorize the Farm Bill.

But I’ve said from the beginning: We’re not going to try to balance the budget on the back of the tribes.

We put a bunch more money into tribal justice, and that’s hard in a year when we’re trying to reduce spending at the federal level.

Since the president has closed the border, I think we can get this done.
