nafta
Then who the heck passed it?No they dont want free trade. They want cotton subsidys, the defunct tobbacco buy outs,They profit fron corn subsidys to some extent.I dont know much about farming, but I do know they have thier hands out a lot. Who brought the wet backs here? Do they pay any of the health costs for them sticking around here. I've got in laws that havn't grown a cotton crop for years, and they get a check. What I'm getting at is this, a lot of folks think that social security, and medicare are the only entitlements in this coutry. There are a heck of a lot more hands out than that, that are tax payer supported. I cant recall many times when I have seen more cattle here in the fields of ky. And ground chuck sells for 3.25 a pound. Where do these high prices come from? I dont know about now, but once I was a salemen for HJ Hienz, talking to several managers of grocery stores, they operate at a profit margin of about 3%. Have you read anything about that suit against dary farmers of america co-op. Were paying almost 4 bucks a gallon for milk, and smaller dairy farms are going out of business because of low milk prices. NAFTA,working people didn't want it. Some are saying farmers didn't want it, how did it help unions? If no one wanted it, how the hell did it get here? Think maybe some politicians sold out to special interests?
