Farm size and population story
Must see this site http://tinyurl.com/ygu952s that Dean Hoffman
Posted in Misc.rural What is Obama going to do about it? Nothing, most likely. Farm consolidation has been going on for years. This is the first link I hit upon with some historical farm population numbers: http://tinyurl.com/ygu952s Will Congress ban vertical integration of hog farming? Some states do have bans on corporate farming. Nebraska had one but it was ruled unconstitutional. I haven't heard much about it since. Some other states have fared better with their bans. -- Bill Garden in shade zone 5 S Jersey USA http://www.globalissues.org/article/75/world-military-spending You must know something about what you are searching for before you query google. |

To be frank Does Chrysler and General Motors count? Are they not under the control of the Obama's "Auto Czar"? They don't count, because they had the choice of going bankrupt.

Ostensibly, the "Car Czar" is there to see that they (1) don't sack and pillage bailout funds, (2) run their bussiness in a professional manner, which, previously they hadn't, so you can understand an investors concern. As I understand it, the government's shares are non-voting shares, so artistic license won't be compromised, if they don't try to drive the business off a cliff. Besides Obama Motors, I believe the banks will be next. Fire the CEO's and board members and break them up and sell the banks back to the public. Obama Motors, Obama Care, Obamanation, what is with this crap? Can't people discuss the facts without resorting to sarcasm, and ad hominem attacks? Are we back to the loonies invading the Florida recounts to impede the work of government? I didn't vote for the guy but this mindless sarcasm only says that there is no discussion, our minds are closed, and it is our way, or the highway.

Private public schools, private prisons (already have 1% of us locked-up), private fire departments, private military, private government spies, internet band width for a price, privately sponsored public broadcasting, and government contracts being doled out to cronies, instead of low bid. We already have concentrated corporate ownership of the media, and now they can spend as much as they want for the election of their most servile sock-puppet.

In a free market, they would have gone belly up. They grabbed at straws. Why are you so invested in this? Wrong again! The government like loan sharks, would not loan them money without becoming a partner in the business. Again suffer slowly or make it a quick end. It was not the auto industries fault for their demise. It was the federal governments fault for making all these unfair free trade agreements. With slave labor nations like China and many other Asian nations can produce foreign cars with lower cost and increased quality. Like Ross Perot stated during his presidential campaign "Pass NAFTA and watch the giant sucking sound of jobs leaving the United States". Free Trade lowers the living standards of all. Why am I so invested in this? I LIVE IN MICHIGAN! One out five Jobs here are auto related. I have many friends that had a good life now destroyed by free triad policies. These policies are just now having a domino effect on the rest of the U.S. economy. They could have thought of that when they were building cars that nobody wanted. They aren't the victims. Wrong Again! Drive those cheap foreign cars and goods. Time will tell who the real victims are. Hint: The entire U.S. will be the victim. I voted for the Green Party. I am not against Obama.

You sound like you are part of the ruling elite. Smoke and mirrors - take a real good look at your own core belief system. I just like clarity. If you can teach me something, I'll be eternaly grateful. Just read and learn... You should be grateful Enjoy Life... Dan -- Garden in Zone 5 South East Michigan. |
