Which welfare queens are you talking about? The US sugar growers or the CAFTA country sugar growers. Please explain paragraph 9 in the above article. It looks to me like we will be "subsidizing" other countries not to grow sugar.
I guess that it is OK to subsidize the welfare queens of CAFTA countries.
Bush is only offering to do that because of the whining American sugar farmers who are already protected from being competitive. It's not part of CAFTA. It's part of a side deal to buy off the welfare queens.
