Eating the seed corn
Yet another example of the Death of Storage. USDA is trying to cut a piddling $150 million. This will prevent exactly one hour of Federal borrowing from China. Whoooooieeee! Free at last! Free at last! For one hour!
Well, how do we accomplish this full hour of freedom and frugality? By closing 250 service and research offices. Many of those offices have been running local research with connections to local crops, to develop new seeds and stop plant diseases.
We're starving our own future, making a huge disinvestment in our own economy's growth potential, in order to satiate the hell-bound Tom Coburn. Your time is short, Tom. Satan is impatient.
Garbanzo is mad enough to BUST the nearest pork-buster! Polistra and Happystar stand in solidarity with him. ¶ 6:29 PM
