We have really amped up subsidies in recent years as we subsidize US farmers more and more because of the dumping by Communist China and Latin America due to bad trade deals and lack of enforcement.

Most of the US ag production now is shipped overseas, while lower quality foreign ag and food products are sold to Americans. Even WalMart is trying to get away from the foreign foodstuffs

We would save billions each yr if we tariffed the foreign products...and took away the taxpayer subsidies off of Ag producers in the US. It is stupid and costly to prop up domestic producers while you protect the foreign producers with trade deals
