Why would our farmers be any different, we all know it's a scam to produce only what the government "Thinks" you should.
Why should we not be producing the very best food in the world! Producing what "People" want.

    Don't think so. Yesterday I wrote in a Hot in the Gulch post about something I read in The Birmingham News back during the 90s when I was actually a subscriber.
    Then I bought my first PC.
    .Save for a rare occasion, I do not read newspapers printed on newsprint.
    Military History is the only magazine I subscribe to now.
    I quit Popular Science after they very recently interviewed O the Great and Powerful about his view of the future with grandiose full page photos that would make Hitler blush.
    No, I did not read whatever O spewed. The photos alone were enough to turn my stomach.
    That copy in the mail did not last three minutes before I trashed it in my house.

    What's even more interesting is what will islam do to the worlds delete, the very creatures that pushed their buttons, the very creatures that have kept them in the bondage of their own bicameral brains.

    I'd laugh my ass off if, inspite of kerry and others converting to islam, they get beheaded anyway.

    Except islam was the product of a very sick individual where as the OT, T and NT were the products of history, a strive for a just civilization and some important tips for mankind's journey into conscious discipline, thought and behavior...unfortunately, that conversation never evolved with our minds and islam was successful in keeping it's people in the dark in the worst possible way and produced the results we see today...it doesn't take much to push the buttons of a pagan society.

    The worlds delete think they are sooo evolved, don't need to study the lessons of mankind and our history; yet they cannot rule over their own brain. cannot control their own behavior and couldn't do squat without Us.
    Same ole 8000 year old story.

    trumpet wants to use those same sanctions. His tax plan alone would do the trick...not sure he realizes that.

    And that's a shame...sometimes I wonder if I could make a difference with an underground newspaper...I say newspaper instead of internet site because that wouldn't necessarily be underground.

    Some how we have to change their "brain set"...I say brain set because if they had a mind they would realize they are taking money from the people including themselves...kind of a sick socialist plan.

    Much of the population in both places is already fully indoctrinated to oh so readily slide down that slippery slope without hardly a thought but more with lots and lots of FEEEELIIINGS.

    Subsidies are merely excuses for the best produces to do no better than the worst producers, so when the shortages come (and they will) the state has an excuse to step in and take over -- and make it worse yet.

    when we hit rock bottom and I do think it is within our life times it will stop.
    then the whole of the usa population will look exactly like Russia of the 50's as will all of western Europe.

    For some funny little ole' reason, even an old dino has an aversion to both a "holy scripture" and a religion that wants to kill me.
    And over the years I've learned from news accounts that, even if you do convert, you can still get killed for not converting well enough to suit some cleric or even a family member.

    Interesting point. He still says ISIL. I am not sure I even grant that ISLAM is ok- In their own bible it says to kill the infidels. Thats not good at all. I look askance at anyone who professes ISLAM as a result, until they disavow that part of their bible. If they want to kill me, I am not going to accept them.

    Me dino knows the best president money can bribe is paid to play and say garbage like "ISIL has nothing to do with Islam."
    Many moons ago I learned why O the Great and Powerful Apologist prefers to say "ISIL" over "ISIS."
    ISIL is all about a claim of territory with Israel stuck inside of it.

    I was stationed in the Pacific (classified location) during the mid-70s, and had occasion to visit NZ during its most socialist period. Their economy was so bad, their currency was denied the right to foreign exchange, and their protectionist barriers made most goods incredibly expensive (an American-made kitchen appliance cost ten times what the U.S. price was), with the domestic products even more costly than the imported. Thank goodness they finally waked up and reformed their economy to incorporate free market principles.

    We should remove subsidies immediately. They WERE bad, ARE bad now, and WILL BE bad in the future.

    Plus, I dont want to pay for them anymore.
