What do they do with soy beans?
And when President Trump wanted to import meat from Argentina, which would help them and us, he was attacked by many Republicans and many here on FR as well.
I am a carnivore. I don’t eat vegetables. I want meat and its getting harder all the time. And I am being told, it is good for farmers and me to keep paying more and more. Welll,,,no
This started with Biden.
“But just as importantly, they must be able to continue growing, harvesting and operating for generations to come.” That’s the problem Tom, they don’t want to.
I am not blaming President Trump. I am blaming the ones who go against a solution.
No, I don’t want the U.S. to have a deindustrialized agrarian and mining economy. That’s not what I said.
I do recall that the power to levy tariffs is expressly vested with Congress by the Constitution. Trump has taken a very limited grant of discretionary policy, declared an emergency, and asserted unilateral executive authority over tariffs — which now change at the speed of his twitter feed. I’m surprised the courts haven’t stopped him yet, but I won’t argue that today. FR used to be a conservative site that thought the Constitution still means something. That apparently now makes me a paleocon and globalist. But put that aside.
Yes, the U.S. had drifted into a wildly asymmetrical position on tariffs. Yes, that is long overdue for a correction. We don’t know anything about the behind the scenes discussion, but publicly this looks like rule by decree. But I’m a Paleo, so what do I know?
The burden of the article and this thread, however, is the question of appropriate relief for agriculture. This remains a key U.S. EXPORT industry, which is why it is catching some of the retaliation. I guess U.S. export industries don’t matter?
Every industry is suffering the effects of Bidenflation, as are all consumers.
Bankruptcy resets prices and makes opportunity for lower production costs.
