it's all in the name of free trade

When a currency falls, as the dollar has been doing, the deficit gets worse before it gets better. It takes time for everyone to shift their habits to better priced alternatives. I suspect that this is what is happening with ag.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

more likely Bush's refusal to go to the mat on trade to end the various NTBs such as the GM crop ban and the beef bans.Comment

How is that Bush's fault? He didn't make American farmers shift massively into GM crops while there was a backlash going on in other countries. He didn't create mad cow.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Mexico has a GM crop ban, and yet their food, several hundred fold worse then ours, gets up here. It is a barrier to trade and Bush holds responsibility because it is up to him(with the senate's rubber stamp) to negotiate trade deals. He is failing here.Comment

The WTO has a process whereby these bans will be removed across the board. But it takes time. Bush is utilizing this process. It's not his fault that farmers didn't take all these things into account when they planted their crops. He's not their nanny.
In any event, it wouldn't be in our interest to stop grain imports from Mexico while the process of removing barriers is underway.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

A rising tide lifts all boats...Isn't this evidence of increased production worldwide? The question is: with more mouths to feed, do protective tariffs help feed those mouths better than free trade? No, they inhibit production in the 3rd world.Comment
