“free traders” apparently don’t remember the Ethiopian famines in the last century. French ag importers buying spree of peanuts for oil to sell in Europe caused a shift in production of food for local markets to peanuts for export. Food price inflation, then starvation followed shortly.

Now the traitors in our government are arranging the same deals— where we’re growing crops for ethanol production and export,which is causing the same kind of shift in production as was seen in Ethiopia, as part of a western hemispheric “free trade” pact.

Food prices are up, shortages are growing and the “free traders” defend their agenda even while complaining that it costs too much to bake their own bread.

It’ll be really funny when they go to the market for those organic tomatoes they boasted about buying last summer, and see the new “free trade” tax on summer produce. LOL.
