Those dairy products in your fridge come with an expiration date.
Apparently there's no deadline on cheap, ineffectual campaign year talk by Walker about tariffs on dairy exports to Canada Trump triggered a year ago.
* He talked to Trump about it on the phone, according to this report.
* And brought out the follow-up triple-exclamation point Tweet!!!
Meanwhile:
There's been no movement on the tariff situation, except in reverse.
* Wisconsin leads the nation in small farm bankruptcies.
These two just stuck it to
* A month later, Trump doubled the tariffs, and China responded with more tariffs that will raise the cost of agricultural production, including Wisconsin's.
As Walker, Fitzgerald and Trump might say, 'Nothing to see there!!!'
Apparently there's no deadline on cheap, ineffectual campaign year talk by Walker about tariffs on dairy exports to Canada Trump triggered a year ago.
Trump Vows to Back U.S. Dairy Farmers in Canada Trade SpatHaving endorsed Trump for President from the podium at the 2016 GOP convention, Walker knew he only had to snap his fingers and taps out some words to get Trump's attention:
* He talked to Trump about it on the phone, according to this report.
* And brought out the follow-up triple-exclamation point Tweet!!!
“It was great to talk to you this morning,” Walker told Trump on Twitter after the conversation. “Thanks for supporting WI dairy farmers!!!"* Wait, there's more, as Walker even sent the known known Trump-reader signed a letter:
Walker issued a joint letter to Trump with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo yesterday. The move comes as 75 Wisconsin dairy farms won't have buyers for their milk beginning May 1st because of the restrictions.* And issued a 'standing up for Wisconsin dairy farmers' news release detailing the calls he'd made and assigned to others. It's the full court press, no?
Meanwhile:
There's been no movement on the tariff situation, except in reverse.
* Wisconsin leads the nation in small farm bankruptcies.
As dairy crisis crushes farmers, Wisconsin's rural identity in jeopardyAnd when Trump surprised Walker with more tariffs that could rebound against Wisconsin manufacturers, Walker "respectfully" asked Trump's to reconsider.
These two just stuck it to * A month later, Trump doubled the tariffs, and China responded with more tariffs that will raise the cost of agricultural production, including Wisconsin's.
Walker's boy Trump just slammed Wisconsin agriculture
* The lengthy Chinese tariff list published today, which includes cranberries, nuts, ginseng and other agricultural and industrial items.
* This web page posted by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection showing that China is Wisconsin's third-largest importer, and the state ranks #1 in exports of cranberries, ginseng roots, and sweet corn.Not to be outdone in this rush to irrelevancy, the State Senate under the control of GOP Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, killed an appropriation aimed at rural economic development which had sailed through the Assembly on a bi-partisan basis.
As Walker, Fitzgerald and Trump might say, 'Nothing to see there!!!'
