Say What??
WHY are we[not me] paying subsidies to american and Brazilian cotton farmers? Are they counted as part of the 47%? I'm trying to get my head around this with no success. Wasn't american subsidised cotton , and cheap over seas labor one of the causes to the end of american textile plants? Why can't we import cheaper brazilian ethanol to this country?And why, with gasoline prices at the high rate, and drilling and off shore oil rigs operations curtailed by "hurricanes " that didn't come ashore, did we continue to export refined gasoline abroad?
