Re: Kevorkian Economics- long



>This is irrational behavior but we are stuck
Keith:  Are we stuck in good part because US agriculture insists on 
playing "supermarket to the world", whereby some 60 - 80% of our 
production (depending on the region) goes to countries 'unable' to feed 
themselves and have to use their foreign currencies to buy European and 
American foods? They sell us raw materials and services, we send 
processed goods, technology and food; but increasingly, we are 
subsidizing their industrialization (our huge trade imbalancess) and 
moving jobs off shore. Is that the system? John McCain is telling us that 
some of the distortions are due to bad lobbying and selfish interests 
controlling public policy. Maybe this Vietnam vet is right.  Who is 
right, anyway?   Ken M.
