Farmers on welfare ... U.S. Soybean Exporters Might Find Painful Lesson In Chicken Exports To Russia

[Andylusion]

Which do you think I'm going to vote for? What good option is there? You tell me.

There is always other options, but we as a country have been brainwashed into accepting the lesser of two evils. Nobody will vote for a 3rd party candidate because they cannot win, and they cannot win because nobody will vote for them. Can you not see how this become a self fulfilling prophecy.

People do vote for the 3rd party, and they still don't win.
*I* voted for a 3rd party candidate in 2016.

It doesn't matter if what you think people should do.

We can sit here and complain about gravity, because it hurts when you fall down... that won't improve anything.

I don't need your explanation that the way the American people vote, sucks. That's not helpful, and nothing improves.

What I need from you, who are sitting here telling me how terrible Trump is because he spends to much.... is viable solution. You just in your own post said that your solution, a 3rd party, is not viable.

So.... we're back to where we started. Trump who over spends, and the left-wingers who want to over spend by many multiples of what Trump does.

So far... the only logical option presented is still Trump.

The solution is for people to quit sending people back to congress when they spend too much.

Seems simple enough

Donald Trump spent >$100 million on his golf excursions. Lock him up for theft and deceit.

No. You are ignorant. That $100 Million is not money given to the golf course. That is the 'estimated' cost of security. You guys are the ones acting deceptively, by imply that "Trump stole" tax money. Not happening. This is the 'estimated' cost of travel.

And even that estimate is ridiculous. The same security agents getting paid to protect the president on a trip, are being paid when he's staying at the white house. They are not hiring on dozens of security personnel when he's on a trip.

That said......

I still wouldn't care. I don't have a problem with presidents going on vacation and trips. I'm actually of the opinion that there should be perks to being president, and I don't have a problem with him going on vacation whenever he wants.

I didn't have a problem when conservatives were screaming about Michael Obama's million dollar Spain vacation, and I don't have a problem with this.

Here's the reality.... presidential vacations do not bankrupt countries. Socialist programs that are going broke, bankrupt the country.

If I could spend $1 Billion dollars to get a president that would fix entitlements, that would be worth it. In $100 Billion in vacations would be a great trade off, for fixing the socialist programs that are bankrupting the country.

everything in my trade ticked up

in fact a good portion of sources had 'pre tariff' sales

what commodities? How much? What fraction of the tariff was clawed back?

Donald Trump has permanently damaged the agricultural industry with his trade war. The effects will translate into economic death for some rural communities as the lack of economic activity dries up jobs.

It appears the soybean market might already be lost for US farmers based on historical precedent with loss of chicken exports to Russia.

But, on the bright side, Trump might be able to lean on Boris Johnson to get British to eat more US chicken if they eventually accept chlorinated chicken, and if it is actually competitive with other suppliers.

In the meantime, Donald Trump has spent more on subsidies to farmers than was spent on the auto industry bailout of 2008-9 which was eventually mostly paid back by the auto industry. Fat chance that farmers will ever pay back because the sustainability of the industry has deteriorated since the trade war.

Thank you Donald Trump.

U.S. Soybean Exporters Might Find Painful Lesson In Chicken Exports To Russia After 2014 Ukraine Invasion

If U.S. soybean exporters want a glimpse of their future in China, they might consider what has happened to the U.S. chicken export market after the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
It disappeared.
This is the risk of the U.S.-China trade war to not only the soybean industry but a number of targeted industries, including oil and lumber.
While there are some differences between the Chinese and Russian cases, there are also striking similarities.
In both cases, the United States was the dominant export market.
As recently as last year, China was buying as much as 57% of U.S. soybean exports. Russia, while not as dominant a market for U.S. poultry exporters, ranked first from 2003 to 2009 and was a leading market through 2013.
In August of last year, Chinese imports of U.S. soybeans dropped to 2% of the U.S. export market. While they recovered to 54% in August of this year, they dropped to 25% in September, the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data available.
...
U.S. soybean exports had followed a regular pattern for years, with surges in October and November -- until this year, as the effects of the U.S.-China trade war took hold.

U.S. soybean exports had followed a regular pattern for years, with surges in October and November ...
As for Russia, since 2013, it has not purchased any poultry from the United States. None. The global U.S. poultry export market has yet to fully recover. ...

I'm sure you were crying hysterically when the US garment industry was destroyed or when over 3,000,000 US citizens lost their careers to Business Visas.
Go stick your phony concern for US citizens up your a$$.

 

[BrokeLoser]

The Brits are too smart to buy american meat product....they know our food is compromised, heck they see trump rallies and all the hippos in there...most jobless and obese.

Hmm...boy oh boy those inconvenient fact always get in the way...huh?

Obesity affects some groups more than others

• Hispanics (47.0%) and non-Hispanic blacks (46.8%) had the highest age-adjusted prevalence of obesity, followed by non-Hispanic whites (37.9%) and non-Hispanic Asians (12.7%).
• The prevalence of obesity was 35.7% among young adults aged 20 to 39 years, 42.8% among middle-aged adults aged 40 to 59 years, and 41.0% among older adults aged 60 and older..Adult Obesity Facts | Overweight & Obesity | CDC

Who Participated in Welfare?

• The black population: At 41.6 percent, blacks were more likely to participate in government assistance programs in an average month.

o The black participation rate was followed by Hispanics at 36.4 percent, Asians or Pacific
Islanders at 17.8 percent, and non-Hispanic whites at 13.2 percent.
21.3% of US Participates in Government Assistance Programs Each Month

I consider the $100 million well spent. While Donald Trump is looking for his balls he's not screwing the American economy and the world economy.

It would be great if Donald Trump played 2 rounds of golf every day for the rest of his life and took his family and Jerd Kushner as caddies and ball cleansers.

Treasury Designates China as a Currency Manipulator | U.S. Department of the Treasury

” Secretary Mnuchin, under the auspices of President Trump, has today determined that China is a Currency Manipulator.

As a result of this determination, Secretary Mnuchin will engage with the International Monetary Fund to eliminate the unfair competitive advantage created by China’s latest actions.

As noted in the most recent Report to Congress on the Macroeconomic and Foreign Exchange Policies of Major Trading Partners of the United States (“FX Report”), China has a long history of facilitating an undervalued currency through protracted, large-scale intervention in the foreign exchange market. In recent days, China has taken concrete steps to devalue its currency, while maintaining substantial foreign exchange reserves despite active use of such tools in the past. The context of these actions and the implausibility of China’s market stability rationale confirm that the purpose of China’s currency devaluation is to gain an unfair competitive advantage in international trade.

The Chinese authorities have acknowledged that they have ample control over the RMB exchange rate. In a statement today, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) noted that it “has accumulated rich experience and policy tools, and will continue to innovate and enrich the control toolbox, and take necessary and targeted measures against the positive feedback behavior that may occur in the foreign exchange market.” This is an open acknowledgement by the PBOC that it has extensive experience manipulating its currency and remains prepared to do so on an ongoing basis.

This pattern of actions is also a violation of China’s G20 commitments to refrain from competitive devaluation. As highlighted in the FX Report, Treasury places significant importance on China adhering to its G-20 commitments to refrain from engaging in competitive devaluation and to not target China’s exchange rate for competitive purposes. Treasury continues to urge China to enhance the transparency of China’s exchange rate and reserve management operations and goals.

The US dollar is over-priced. There's an easy way to fix that. Tax foreign investment in the USA. That will lower the US$ and raise the price of currencies of those that would otherwise invest their foreign money in the USA.

So now you side with China over the American worker..........Pack your bags .....if.....big if.......and move to China then...

They will let you work for a bag of rice a week, and let you enjoy the pollution of no EPA regulations.

They are stealing Technology............inviting business in........Steal the tech......rebuild a plant..and then put the company out of business there after Stealing the tech from them.

Any business that goes there for the cheap labor and gets shafted.........OH FREAKING WELL.

You made your bed now sleep in it.

We have an OBLIGATION to the American Worker........NOT THE CHINESE WORKER......

This fight has been needed for a long time.........so spare me the Globalist.....what about my stock portfolio BS............You are either WITH US......OR AGAINST US............

I am for the American worker over the Chinese worker.

Facts for the moron named Denizen...
President Trump signed an EO that H1-Bs have to take a written test to stay in the US or come to the US.
90+% of these "Geniuses" have failed these written tests and many have been sent back to India and those in India have been told they ain't coming to the US.
And that's why US graduates are getting high paying IT jobs and Gates, etc are shitting in their pants demanding "Highly Skilled" H1-Bs.
In the meanwhile, the only two companies that don't use only Indian H1-Bs, Amazon and Apple, have been kicking the asses of the other Tech Giants.

So take your anti-American bullshit and stick it up your a$$.

As recently as last year, China was buying as much as 57% of U.S. soybean exports. Russia, while not as dominant a market for U.S. poultry exporters, ranked first from 2003 to 2009 and was a leading market through 2013.
In August of last year, Chinese imports of U.S. soybeans dropped to 2% of the U.S. export market. While they recovered to 54% in August of this year, they dropped to 25% in September, the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data available.

Donald Trump and his cabinet exemplify that.

Tell us how Microsoft, IBM and Oracle have innovated anything since the mid 90s...be specific.
MS has stolen lots and IBM and Oracle have innovated dick.
