U.S., Mexico end sweetener rift
Nations agree on import quotas, end to tariff in '08
Reuters News Service
MEXICO CITY - The United States and Mexico have ended a heated, decadelong dispute over sugar and sweetener trade, lifting all barriers from 2008 under the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The two countries agreed to reciprocal tariff-free import quotas prior to 2008, Mexico's government said late Thursday.
The deal allows free trade from 2008 in the products that go to make Coke and other soft drinks and are also heavily used in the baking industry.

I wonder what the government will do when American farmers lose out to cheaper imported products? Hmmmmmm....... |

| Foreclose on their farms like they have been doing for 3 decades. Then hand it over to big corporations or the government to build more concentration camps. |

The government will do what it always does. It will raise taxes in order to subsidize farmers.

You can go to this site and find out who in your state has recieved farm susidies from the government, and how much they got. In most cases it's the big corporations that rake in millions of dollars from the taxpayers.
http://www.ewg.org/farm/index.php
You can click by state on the map, or scroll down to the bottom and enter a zip code to see your area, who got the money and how much.
Take care.
