The figures you posted from EWG are incorrect. EWG funded by Joyce Foundation. "Breaking news?" Hardly. This bill has been negotiated for some time now, and will continue to be. Heard in Senate today. The fact that you classified under "breaking news" is meaningless. That was your call. You are not making any sense. Why not put it to rest?

Why are they incorrect? Because you say so, from your reading of another sites data? Puh-leeze! And I don't really give a damn if the Joyce Foundation funds them, the plain numbers are there for anyone who wants to look...Besides (and perhaps if I shout it will get through to you) ALTHOUGH THEY DIFFER ON EXACTLY WHY, BOTH HERITAGE.ORG AND EWG>COM THINK THEY ARE BAD FOR AMERICA...IN WHICH CASE, WHATS YOUR POINT??

And the article very much was "breaking news" and was headlined as such at Scoop.co.nz; it hadnt been covered in the NZ media at the stage of posting and nothing about it had been posted here at FR, where a good number of kiwis (and Americans) who enjoy talking about NZ/US relations, free-trade, government welfare and the burden on the taxpayer and so on, hang out (or at least, a search for "trade farm subsidies agriculture zealand USA"etc hadnt found anything here).

Your call to "move on" and "put it to rest" is the cry of someone who realises they have no case.
