Subsidies.
John, I may not like them, but can understand them. Granting subsidies is in effect picking winners, especially if not all parties are getting them. Is that fair? Not really. But, here is an example of where I can see turning a blind eye to them. Just yesterday on the news, I heard that a major U.S. food manufacturer is moving to China, but didn't hear which one. Now, it could be a Canadian food manufacturer, European, whoever. It seems to me, and please don't anyone get upset or bent out of shape, that when most anyone competes with the third world living condititions and pay that chinese people are being paid low or almost no wages to turn out and export junk worldwide, its pretty hard to compete with that on face value, especially if one is used to living in a home with windows, plumbing, heating, a refridgerator and wants to keep it, which will require higher wages, yet cheaper prices to compete with cheaper priced imported junk. So how is that accomplished? Well, subsidies are one way. Does that make them right? I guess that it depends upon...
John, I did my best to try and not get this poofed by offering an example that may or may not justify subsidies.
