(19,537 posts)... if other multinational corporations trying to sell farm products in other countries competing with UNDERPRICED American farm exports due to our farm subsidies might sue the government in the corporate ISDS courts to get those subsidies paid to them too, so that they can compete with American products! Now which side would the corporate lawyers of these courts take in these situations.
Certainly not our taxpayers and government's side. We'll be on the hook to pay even more taxes to cover these added costs to continue to pay farm subsidies to those entities that own pols like Joni Ernst, etc. that continue to keep paying them off.
Perhaps our companies will sue to get not only meat origin labels be removed, but other food content labels removed such as whether sugar is natural cane sugar or high fructose corn syrup, so that they can get lost profits from Mexico for losing sales here in the U.S. that don't want to eat that DAMN diabetes causing sugar substitute.
Well... MAYBE we'll have less undocumented workers moving up here to get jobs like they did from parts of South America when they formerly as farmers had to sell them off because they couldn't raise corn products, etc. to compete with America's "dumped" imports there that had them ultimately coming up here to be a part of their cheap labor force too.
Wonder how Hillary's campaign would explain these dynamics to Iowa voters if she wants to support GMO foods as well as TPP during the Iowa caucuses.
