The United States of America is importing corn.

How pathetic is that?

We have, after four years of Obama, become a Third World Hell-hole that can no longer feed our own people.

Liberal logic - killing our young and burning our food for fuel makes us a better society.

Nonsense. The U.S. is and will remain the world’s leading corn exporter, although Brazil and Argentina are increasing production and gaining market share. But just because we’re a major exporter doesn’t mean that an occasional shipment won’t come in. It’s a global distribution network and buyers can source from anywhere. The U.S. has always had marginal corn imports because crafty traders played an angle that worked out. That may happen a bit more this year due to high prices and tight supplies because of the drought.
