As someone who worked in manufacturing for a career, I can tell you that we were exposed to the global market, with NAFTA, and other trade agreements. Big business benefited, workers and small businesses lost. When we were the high cost producer in manufacturing, we shed jobs and factories. No systematic subsidies to keep the doors open. Basically, go find something else to do. Even within AG, who is saving the dairy farmers? Nobody. It s survival of the fittest for most folks, except Big AG and the government and its suppliers. I don t think there is going to be much sympathy for millionaire farmers by folks who work for a living.
