jtssrx Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I think it's total bullshit. If tariffs affect the sale of other products than your tariffs aren't working. Giving tax dollars to fix the problem is wrong. Trump is a dipshit on this issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA Contributing Member $poorsledder$ Posted July 25, 2018 USA Contributing Member Share Posted July 25, 2018 If this is short term and the Chinese and whoever else flinches then I'm ok with it. If it drags out then the farmers need to figure out something to get through it. I didn't like how the government propped up GM but it looks like that worked out.

Zambroski Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 As if farming subsidies were going anywhere anyway. We’ve been paying farmers to grow shot so they can rot in government sponsored silos for decades. Not sure why exactly but I don’t follow agriculture...pretty much at all.

xtralettucetomatoe580 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 If we are going to be rational about the subject this isn’t the govt picking winners and losers so much as it is the govt protecting an industry targeted by a foreign govt. If it were the govt randomly giving a subsidy to an industry that was operating in a free trade environment, that would be a different story. I’m ok with this as long as it helps bring China to the table, which after Europe bent the knee, I bet they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
