The result of the types of policies promoted by "free trade" is the destruction of a countries ability to feed its people. When the United States has no farming or agriculture left because "free trade" put all the farmers out of business is it possible this scenario will play out here?


Venezuela land reform gets going

The government says land reform should help Venezuela grow more of its own food.

"There's no food in this country," says Juan Pablo.

"The government is going to help us set up co-operatives, so we can work together to get agriculture going. Because that's what will give a future to our children."
says Maria Herrera.

The government insists it is impossible for Venezuela to grow enough food for the poor, as long as so much land is in the hands of so few.

That is just a bizarre statement. I take it back. Even Berkeley has minimum standards for admission.
