Maybe if we weren’t paying farmers not to grow crops, we wouldn’t be buying grain from China.

Bing Bing Bing...Folks we have winner!

We shouldn't be importing food from anywhere, much less third world countries like China & Mexico.

The left bad mouthed our “engineered grain” all over the world , including starving countries, in order to promote the sale of crops from third world countries. The left promoted farm subsidies (pay to not grow) so that our grain would not flood the world market and depress the value of the third world crops. Now, we find ourselves importing grain, instead of exporting it. It is not the fault of CAFTA and NAFTA. It is the fault of the manipulated market. Our farmers could produce all the grain that the market could bear at a price that we could afford, and enough for ethanol, too.
