By the way how is it that you have so much time to post here through the week being the busy man you are?"
Have you ever been in a bank, Bill? Those nifty little things you thought were personal TV sets are computer screens. We use computers all day. It takes all of 5 seconds to check over here to see if you've provided any more gems like the $30 tariff R-CALF supposedly wanted - that you refuse to provide any proof on. Some people take a break in the break room, some go out for a smoke, I check on BS you post but can't back up.
From the R-CALF web site
"Why was R-CALF USA founded?
In 1998 the R-CALF USA was founded as a foundation to represent and file three trade cases on behalf of the U.S. cattle industry. Trade laws are different from domestic laws in that it is generally required that the domestic industry monitors them and files the appropriate petitions when a trade violation occurs that is damaging U.S. prices.
R-CALF USA filed a live cattle and anti-dumping (selling below the cost of production) case against Canada and Mexico , and a countervailing (subsidy) case against Canada. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) in January dismissed the Mexico case. In the summer of 1999, the Department of Commerce (DOC) found that Canada was subsidizing the production of live cattle, but not at a high enough rate to warrant penalty tariffs. The DOC in July of 1999 also found Canada was dumping cattle into the U.S. at a high enough rate to warrant tariffs equivalent to the violation to be put on. The U.S. cattle market saw an immediate improvement in their markets.
Unfortunately, the ITC ruled in November of 1999, contrary to the DOC findings, that U.S. producers were not “materially injured” by the dumping of Canadian cattle and the ITC lifted the anti-dumping tariffs imposed by the DOC.
