In the "COVID Relief" bill there is $5,000,000,000 set aside under the Agriculture portion for "loan payoffs for socially disadvantaged farmers". I looked up what that is, and it's to pay off loans for American Indians or Alaskan Natives, Asians, Blacks or African-Americans, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, and women farmers. What does this have to do with COVID exactly?

1/2000th of our gross national debt to be paid toward minority farms
