One thing up front, I am against the government providing any sort of subsidies or price supports for any sector of our economy.
That said, The E.U. is upset because the U.S. Government did not reduce agricultural subsidies as much as they would like. They say it is an unfair trading practice that benefits our farmers and our economy. I guess in the opinion of the E.U. their subsidies for their corporations do no such thing. Boeing has been fighting with Airbus for years on just such an unfair playing field, and winning most years. The E.U. should shut up and clean up their own yard first before they worry about the mess in ours.
