Agricultural Adjustment Act Amendment of 1935

The Agricultural Adjustment Act Amendment of 1935 adds sections 21 and 22 after section 20 of this act, but the external link shows no section 20, and sections 21 and 22 unrelated to the amendment Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act is about import quotas; in the external link, section 22 is about farm mortgages). If the sections were added to this act, where is section 20, and what happened to the original sections 21 and 22? Peter James (talk) 16:00, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Awful, biased and inaccurate

Farm output increased greatly during WWI as the US subsidized the belligerents. When the war ended farmers were left high and dry. The FDR admin proposed to continue to subsidize them to the detriment of the economy as a whole, in the belief that the real villains were nasty "gold bugs" and that inflation was desirable.
