Looking forward to really cheap bacon and some nice sweet tender pork roasts and bargain prices no less! Hurrah for tariffs. More please!

Uh, no.

Read the article. The U.S. government will prop up the pork prices to keep you paying top dollar for those port roads and bacon before they ever let you enjoy those "bargain prices."

Oh -- and they'll do it using YOUR tax money. So you'll be subsidizing your friendly neighborhood pork farmer twice.

Sorry — “port roasts,” not “port roads.” LOL.

Now the Trump Administration may try its own version of Depressionomics by using the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) to support crop prices walloped by the Trump tariffs: Hurt farmers and then put them on the government dole. How about not hurting them in the first place?

May. LOL.

The NO Wall Street Urinal may became a pro American news source. May.

Actually - the tariffs we charge would easily cover offsetting any loss from US production for any industry, since we import so much more than export.
