I would like to know who really benefits from this kind of policy. I know
farmers around here are hot to trade with China, but we're talking
relatively small amounts in the whole scheme of things. Is this just really
part of a package for BIG business in all aspects of trade? They get their
bucks and the populace beneath them are part of an acceptable risk?
Probably. I wish I were young again and believed that my government worked
FOR me.
