the result is starvation or lack of food.
America pumps alot of raw $$$$ to all parts of the world. Shipping/transportation sure is not a problem, shoot we get ship loads of krap from china here in 4 days after all. And by admission we are the most food productive country and inovative country (in regards to farming NOT manufacturing) in the world. Those countries really don't have any stable governments even the semi-stable are corrupt, infrastructure and adaquadate storage is non-existant.
Net result is starvation and lack of food.
People in parts of the world have starved for centuries and will continue to starve for several more centuries.
The base problem is people of those countries have to form their governments to allow for personal growth (or freedom to win or fail) on their own.
Actually in many ways we could be looking at the future of America if we continue to stifle productivity and ingeunity, etc.etc.etc.. and look past the socialistic concept that everyone is guarenteed the right to everything. That only works until the point that everyone has nothing.
In the post on banking ,,, that is one of the "fundamentals" of any society and several have reported about the predator banks paying 10c on the dollar then turning around and selling for 90% pure profit. That is a fundamental which should be modified. Not wholesale "changed" but modified to a point where it is fair to the "little guys" but still remains a good profit motive for the "big guys". All "big guys" equals something like China where everything is "overly controlled",, the other hand..?? is those 3rd world countries that have nothing.
yelp, complain, whatever.. just my 2 cents....
Btw.. didn't we "start out" just helping Brazil become sort of "self-sucficent?? (sp) where is Brazil now ?? Out producing and out competing the US.
