The total amount of Argentinian beef sold to the US amounts to just 2.2% of our beef and veal imports, so you can't try to justify the problems of US cattle ranchers by blaming them.  And there are currently 7 other countries that we currently import MORE beef than we get from Argentina.  If your socialist solution is to ban all imports of US beef, why don't you research how high beef prices would rise in the US if we stopped importing from everyone?

Is it a surprise to you that a business can't survive when their supply of US cattle is at the lowest point in 70 years?  And is it any surprise to you that a cattle rancher LIKES IT when the price of their beef is kept high instead of when the market is flooded with their product, which they can accomplish by raising more cattle if they wanted to?
