That's the problem, no matter how productive you are, if someone else
can do it cheaper "without price supports" or better then we loose.

I'm not sure I understand. How do we lose if someone else can produce sugar
cheaper than we in the US can?

How do we lose? Well, the less expensive sugar cannot be imported into the US.
Therefore, businesses such as LifeSavers have opted to leave the US for other
places (such as Canada) where sugar is less expensive.

So, the US sugar producers lose because they are not selling sugar to a business
here, and at the same time our manufacturing base leaves.
