If you were to look at the graph in the opening of our brief that showed the price of cattle from the 1930s up until 2008, you would take that piece from 2003 up until 2008, and then you would overlay that with a farm support program that is based on 70% of that price. You would see a farm support program that would have a net that was far below the returns that were given to us during the Great Depression by the marketplace. The reason we can't have an adequate farm safety net is because it would compromise our trade. You can't have this push, push for trade and then negotiate into the WTO. It's right in the text: the farm support program shall not be more than 70% of the five-year moving average. Move the highest and lowest off that equation.
As long as you insist that trade is the answer, there are no solutions to our economic problems domestically. It's that simple.
