I like your call to arms and encourage you to both be angry and participate in the legislative process. But, the US imported $82 billion dollars worth of agricultural products in 2010 [1]. This makes the US potentially dependent on foreign nations for basic necessities. Preventing the loss of self-sufficient food and agriculture production, at a level that will provide for the population and keep prices reasonable during a crisis, is an aspect of national security.

- joering2 13y agoUnless there is a good reason I am not aware of (please tell me), if something can be done cheaper, better, etc, at home, then why would you want to stop that process and import, and still pay double (for import and for do-not-product). I agree with OP, regardless the reason, it sounds like huge scam.
