Africa......400 years of French Aid still has'm ___________!
While noone hates government 'price supports' more than I do, this paragraph reeks of bulls***.
There's no way on Gods green earth that West African cotton farmers are more efficient than American cotton farmers.
Also, the math in this one is suspect. 4 billion divided by 25,000 is $160,000 per Cotton Farmer. Somehow I doubt this figure, but I could be wrong.

It is disgraceful to send a penny to Africa while their are mineral-rich billionaire dictators there who can easily fit the bill, and while we have 6% unemployment here. Let Africans pay for African AIDS victims. Add the $15 billion to the tax cut bill instead. I am so sick of Karl Rove's cynical racial politics fantasies, which also are leaving our borders undefended. Enough!
