Sounds like a few American farmers I know - let's see, Uncle Sam pays
farmer Brown if he doesn't raise too many pigs. Ok - HEY! Unca' Sam -
I'm not raising pigs either! Pay me!

But seriously folks...
No, the Japanese government should not have subsidized that market,
and I think that the American government should a) shut off all hi-tech
trade or b) force the Japanese government to accept free trade of all
agricultural goods. At $10/orange, we could HALF their price and wipe
out all Japanese farmers within the month.
