Brainerd bump firt talking with senator Brainerd rural rural senator wavered bumpered from the from the country is going to discuss some of the particular issues coming up in the upcoming election senator what do you think about our economy well I think I think one thing about our economy I think many people are concerned about this and rightfully so is uh is is it all are worth anything anymore and I think what we've got to do is that just one of my many platforms I don't know how many are gonna work but I as long as you can get to out eighty you know I think it's the number one is to get the interests of them people out there are all those wonderful citizens I think yes I think that they you when you go to your bank as an example and you cash a check for a hundred and fifty two dollars it would behoove them at the bank to give you a hundred and seventy two dollars and this is gonna stimulate money is I don't know IIIi would hope that the government would okay laughs what

latch body over well Center Atlanta thought up in Mississippi uh what about the plight of the farmers senator lash body oh I think the farmer for years going back to the time this country there was always been a problem with weather though we can't afford to borrow and Virginia we should be able to control the right knows I've heard of rain makers in my state they were fakes they put the little four sticks in the ground didn't seem to be affecting though did it not mean my state yes but I think I think that the weather has always been from what we have done to is which I am promoting our plastic vegetable plastic best the government has subsidized many farmers across in the 50 states now it's hard to grow cauliflower in Alaska but as far as I know but I'm talking about at least the 49 I'm not dismissing Alaska of course we understand because there's oil name that's right not gonna pull with oldest feathers up there everybody needs their I would promote and their plastics division last exhibition of factories around America and I think if we promote all kinds of vegetables then we won't have to worry about rain or floods anything else and these farmers can sit there and say see mmm I think that's good the overwhelming problem right now is unemployment and all the candidates have been asked to comment on that what about the high unemployed people back to work well I think you can heard them sounds a little cruel round them up like an old round and you know and say come on gang back and you'd be surprised pop load jump to by what if you have a sleeping at all a senator's slogan yes a national campaign slogan that I have one on my bumper it says to see what did I ever call will you probably never go near your car America huh come here I got which a Boy Scout in my neighborhood thought up and I must talk with young because I love him dearly had mother sticks and you guess not I think we'll take a short break we're coming right back
