” This will help American Farmers “
Well I certainly hope it helps American Farmers a lot more than it helps them by bringing produce in from overseas. You know the produce I’m talking about…it’s the stuff that remains rock hard right up to the day it begins to rot. And rather appropriately I think for our Wal Mart society.
Here’s something else to give a little thought to. I personally know a chicken farm owner in Colombia . Her farm provides a lot of employment and a lot of chickens to local markets, groceries and restaurants. Her fear of the possibilty of the importation of American poultry is well founded. As our farms up here are worked by low paid imported labor we can now go south and compete with her in her already competitive market. She says if that happens
“ I’ll have no choice but to cut wages “ also adding, “ Just like you guys do in the United States. “ and so there, just like here , a blue collar will take it in the “neck”.
There are an awful lot of us who have voted for those deemed to be “pro business” for the past twenty five years. How’s that working out ?
Imagine how cool it would be if farmers here in the good old USA produced food to be consumed right here…instead of corn to dilute my gas by 10% that gives me an 11% reduction in fuel economy. This must be the promised New World Order some one touted not all that many years ago,
Ya know….for such an educated and basically intelligent nation
We really ain’t all that smart
