“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

But Johanns told the same audience he doesn't expect CAFTA to have any affect on sugar prices.

"CAFTA doesn't involve enough sugar to have an impact on that program," he said. "It isn't going to impact price."

I don't know enough about CAFTA at this point to know who's right, but I do know if I had two guys out there shilling my policy, I'd get them on the same page.
