   RM>> First, our current agreement on those products Trump negotiated the   
     >> last time he was in office.   
      
   MP>LOL, yeah, which is why I wasn't really counting the previously-existing   
     >ones.  I wasn't sure what they were on as I was sure Trump was   
     >exaggerating, but I did know there was one on milk and/or cattle.   
      
   Yes, I believe it is Dairy products and eggs mostly. You guys have   
   huge mega farms down there that I don't believe operate in ways   
   that are even legal here so you produce those things a lot cheaper,   
   and there was talk in the past about your gov't subsidizing those   
   things to make them even cheaper, likely intended for Your people   
   to buy but it effects exports as well.   
      
   MP>Trump asking who signed that is because he knows a lot of folks would never   
     >research it and figure out it was he himself that signed it.  ;)   
      
   He has a very convenient memory at times it seems..   B)   
      
   RM>> Supply Management is the Supply end controling prices rather than Demand.   
      
   MP>Yes, and it is something you have to be real careful with.   
      
   Yes, it goes against our Capitalist ideas for most things. You can sort   
   of understand it but there's some built in unfairness to someone in   
   that system.   
      
   But the biggest danger to 'our' system is countries like China willing   
   to lose money selling products, sometimes for decades, working at   
   putting all competition in other countries out of business. The best   
   examples of that are computer processors and such. Sort of an overgrown   
   version of gov't subsidies..
