I first heard today that yesterday that the U.S. Department of Agriculture enacted a 15 cent surcharge on all real Christmas trees across the board nationally, to be used to fund a "Christmas Tree Promotion Board", that will promote a new invention, the Christmas tree, during Christmas. But then later today, I heard a member of Congress speak about this, and he said that Congress was lobbied by Christmas tree growers to add this surcharge to all natural Christmas trees, to be given back to some organization that will then use the money to market this new idea of Christmas trees. I am not joking, do a search of "15 cent Christmas tree surcharge" it on the internet. It is for real.
My question to the Christmas tree farmers, do any of you know about this? Is it to be used to promote Christmas trees in your local market areas? How will this benefit you? Would it not have been easier and cheaper for the Christmas tree farmers to just add 15 cents onto the price of a Christmas tree to use for advertising, as opposed to creating some new bureau that will then need to be funded, probably using most of the surcharge anyway, never making it to the Christmas tree farmers?
