I want you to know,I'm not hysterical or enraged while I'm writing this,I saw it coming. I also don't expect this post to stay up very long,because somebody will respond in an extreme way. Last night on the Farm Monitor,the last story was on an interview that the Wall Street Journal did with our new Grand Exhalted Mesiah who's headed for the White House. In the interview,he blamed modern agriculture for global warming,loss of species,high health care costs,even diabetes. I'm still calm. Just like the Soviet Union,we are going to be nothing but employees of the government. The names that are being tossed around for new Secretary of Ag? No,it won't be anybody with an ag background. It'll be somebody from the animal rights or environmental movement,mark my words.
I said all along when everybody was railing aginst him for what he would do to taxes,it's not the taxes,it's the regulation. Still calm here and serious as a heart attack,the place is for sale while it's still mine to sell. 240 acres in mid Michigan. Nice cattle setup with good fences. Make me an offer.
 
You're right, I think a lot of us saw this train wreck coming. I think he has good intentions, but just won't be able to make the hard choices that need to be made within the framework of the abundant agenda. I hear this morning that they are determined to bail out the auto industry- a "bridge loan", but its a bridge to nowhere. The only real solution is to let the automakers go into Chapter 11, so they can bust the union contracts and start paying those yokels something less than $80 per hour wages and benefits.
 
hey, hey, relax; don't put money down on the tickets to AU yet...
I don't find a ref to an O interview on WSJ, nor on the Farm Monitor site, but i don't subscribe to the WSJ site and I'm not familiar with the FM site---was there a ref to the date or location of the interview, or do you know who has a transcript???? The interpretation sounds a bit extreme...
 
All I can tell you is that they will rerun that show Wednesday evening. Watch it for yourself. I'm not leaving the country,I'll just be sitting on the side of a mountain in eastern Kentucky or east Tennessee. Let somebody else deal with the regulations that are coming. I don't care anymore.
 
Heres another item that really stinks. The people most effected by all this can't organize enough to make a difference because we are to busy trying to keep our heads above water and then you have the people that could organize us (and are telling the news media what wrong and writing books about this) like Gingrich, Iacoca,t-boone and others and they don't have the stones to lead us. They just want to point out whats wrong. we need a second revolution!!!
 
I'm afraid nothing will change as long as we listen to talk radio telling us that we need to "rebuild the nnalert Party". Rebuild it in to what? It never WAS what they say we need to "rebuild" it in to. The only hope is to expand the Libertarian party. It already exists as what those rock heads want to nnalert to be. I say that as a lifelong card carrying nnalert who has finally rubbed the dirt out of my eyes.
 
Remember..."when you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas". Farmers and other rural/ag interests have continued to blindly vote for a Democratic Party that long ago left them behind. Yes, you will get your subsidies, but you will have to accept new "green" rules on how you farm, you will have to comply with new livestock rules just passed in Ca. (entire USA next yr.), and the government will be a much bigger "partner" in your farming than you ever dreamed.

And yes, sadly the nnalert Party offered no real alternative as it tried to be a "lite" version of a party that could have represented many of us.
 
Hey the 'Bailouts' started with the grain farmers about 50 years ago and its been down hill ever since.Paying farmers to grow surpluses while at the same time paying other farmers not to grow anything ain't real bright. I don't want the gov't money myself.He can't screw up 'Ag Policy' anymore than it is already.
