Ross Perot use to speak about the giant sucking sound as jobs were lost to Mexico as a result of NA free trade agreement ... now you're beginning to see evidence.

Actually, it's just the opposite. It is US restrictions on the import of sugar that has been driving American candy makers to both Canada and Mexico. Those import restrictions are designed to protect a mere handful of very wealth sugar cane farmers in Florida and Louisiana while killing many thousands of jobs in other states. But it's a very powerful lobby that has made American candy makers uncompetitive on the world market.

Pennsylvania sucks. 80 and 81 are still closed, three days after a storm. PA gets what it deserves and they deserve a liberal garbage government.

Well there's also the sugar beet farmers in the U.S. who produce far more than the sugar
cane people. Sugar imports coming from low cost production countries can impact prices
from U.S. sources to some extent, but not significantly.
