The answer to that question is very simple. Anyone who supports the proposed GIPSA rules is a proponent for higher packer profits.
If the GIPSA rules are implemented, the packers will be forced to pay the same price for all cattle regardless of the quality or face legal action to justify doing otherwise. This means that cattle that would have received premiums for higher quality carcasses will be paid an average price. The packers will then turn around and sell that higher quality meat at a profit.
REAL MEN OF GENIUS !!!
For that reason, if the packers were as dirty as some packer blamers believe, they would lobby in support of the GIPSA rules so they could profit from the value of higher quality carcasses. What a perfect excuse for paying less money for fat cattle.
YOU GO SANDHUSKER AND TEX !!!!! The packers will love you for it.
