You cannot get your facts to fit your narrative:
1.Brazil: $9.5 billion (35.7% of total sugar exports)
2.Thailand: $2.7 billion (10.3%)
3.France: $1.3 billion (5%)
4.India: $1.1 billion (4.2%)
5.Guatemala: $952.2 million (3.6%)
6.Mexico: $907.3 million (3.4%)
7.Germany: $754.8 million (2.9%)
8.Belgium: $429.2 million (1.6%)
9.Cuba: $427.9 million (1.6%)
So the sugar tariff protects two billionaire Florida families from competition and me from saving my hard earned dollars. Those stinking isolated tariffs. If only they were more broad based then I’d lose even more money to domestic rent seekers.
You remind me of Plato where somewhere in heaven is a perfect tariff and all earthly tariffs are only poor replicas. Stop being so good to me Danny.
You are supporting over 100 million Americans on 15 different food support programs. I’d think you’d be more interested in putting Americans back to work than saving a few pennies on candy.
