Leaving aside that any kind of Oreo is not welcome in my house after the "gay Oreo" thing a couple of years ago...

IIRC the sugar trade barrier was originally set up as a sanction against Cuban sugar. The current situation being what it is, I expect Obama will remove it soon.

Tariffs should be consistently applied. To tariff sugar and not all the products that contain sugar creates an incentive to off-shore.

Sugar has dramatically fallen in price in the past year or so.

I blame the dirt bags in congress who subsidize corn and the other dirtbags in congress who demonize High Fructose Corn Sugar.

End the damned corn Subsidies dammit already.

Also maybe by not subsidizing the damned corn sugar industry the sugar BEET farmers would be able to raise sugar beets and we could make all the damned DOMESTIC SUGAR we need instead of relying on 3rd world craphole Sugar cane sugar from commie regimes in south and central America.

Hawaii was once a major producer of sugar until the unions organized the cane workers and demanded such high wages that the industry went under

[9YearLurker]

Or, we could simply stop protecting sugar farmers.

Speaking of gay Oreos...

[The Great RJ]

Part of the problem are subsidies and tariffs that protect sugar beet producers in North Dakota
