I don't think peanuts are protected or subsidized.

You don't?  Try looking up "Peanut subsidies".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Of course they're protected, that's what the shell is for.

You started this post to mock one country for protectionist policies, I'm merely pointing out similar polices in your home state.  I wonder what the economic impact of getting rid of Peanut subsidies and quotas would be.

Georgia does not impose a tariff on or prohibit foreign peanuts from coming to Georgia. If Georgia could or did, I'd mock it too, just like I mock you.

US Constitution Article I, Section 8:

QuoteThe Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

Peanuts are ridiculously cheap, hard to believe somebody would pay to ship them halfway around the world and make a profit.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Misdirection.  We all know who where tariffs are enacted, but it's dishonest to point to the feds and say "we have no part in this".  But then, you tried to pass Russian Propaganda off as news here, so you may not be dishonest, just dumb.
