How about steel and oil? We should buy them from other nations? How about letting Toyota and Nissan and Hyundai set up factories on US soil? You think that is smart? If you have no problem with the above then you are not an American. You are a world citizen like 0bama fancies himself
Yes, we should buy cheap oil on the international market for as long as it is selling cheap, while developing our own capacity to produce and refine. Drill baby Drill! But so long as oil is cheap, why not buy it from them on the cheap, and save our own for when it is expensive?
Letting companies come to America and hire US workers (the best and most productive in the world), why not? If it is cheaper for Toyota to build Toyota's that will be driven in America in America with American workers, more power to them, and the US workers they hire.
So no defense for sugar protectionism then? Just irrational accusations that unless I agree with you I am “not an American”?
