United States President Donald Trump announced an $8-billion subsidy for farm diesel while campaigning recently in Kansas State.
He said the subsidy will be administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
He has been making big subsidy promises as he tries to stem the loss of supporters in the upcoming Nov. 3 election for members of congress and the senate.
Trump has proposed sending $5,000 checks to all adult citizens if Republicans keep control of the House and Senate in the midterms, though analysts, economists and even some Republicans in Congress have reacted with skepticism.
Earlier this month, Trump said the US. government would send a one-time payment of $90 to more than 20 million Americans enrolled in Medicare, a health insurance program for the elderly.
