As i have said that is not a problem with me (and neither is buying the ethanol strait from other countries who already produce it.) I dont mind allowing other countries to actually develop once we take them off the insane import tariffs we have them on. I don't see any reason to hold the rest of the world back by not doing something like this. The reason many countries are struggling today is because their economies run on farmed goods, and they can't sell their goods to us becuase greedy politicians and farmers in the US want all the cash for themselves. If i were a farmer/farming company and i saw that there was no way in hell i would be able to compete/operate in the market without truckloads of cash from the government i would start thinking there must be a better business to go into.
And if that is what our elected officails do, frankly, its time to find new elected officials. When people pull that crap in my state they just dont recieve my vote the next election. It is unfortunate the rest of america cant wake up and do the same instead of voting for the letter beside someone's name every election.
