I don't want to be dependent on some foreign leftist govt. for our food.
I want the federal government to stop paying farmers not to grow crops.
I guess you want to continue to be dependent on a domestic leftist government for our food.
Our current system is extremely corrupt. We need to get rid of it.
Surely you don't believe that our domestic policy should be driven by the demands of foreign countries, especially those who make their claim on US citizerns because we are "rich", do you? I might add that these countries are extrodinarily resource rich.
Developing nations call on rich nations to abandon farming subsidies
July 17.
Five major developing nations - Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and South Africa - need to press the rich nations to open their markets and abandon agricultural and other subsidies, Mexican leader Vicente Fox said in St. Petersburg on Sunday.
Fox, who was invited to the G8 summit as part of the outreach effort, said his country was especially interested in topics related to health and infectious diseases, primarily avian influenza. As a major producer of fossil fuels, Mexico is also concerned about energy security, its president said.
On Sunday, Fox and his spouse Martha Saagun went on a tour of St. Petersburg that included its famous Hermitage museum and the Church of the Resurrection on Blood, a major church erected where Czar Alexander II was assassinated in 1881.
