So Progs will jump up and down demanding trade protectionism to protect our industry.
Then Progs turn around and raise hell about HFCS.
It’s then pointed out that we have HFCS due to trade protectionism, which jacks up the price of sugar (the US pays anywhere from 2-3 times the world price of sugar at any given point), that protects our corn farmers.
The response is - No, no, no. We don’t want trade protectionism. We want trade protectionism.
Riiiiight.
