The Vet, They ought to pass a law. This is just not fair. We need to get the bushites and the left wing wacko crowd from California to join in. We can say it is for the children, and get at least 80% of the soccer moms on board. We can say that it is not fair to pick on people. We must treat all people fairly. Why, we can tell all countries that are not fair that they will be automatically turned over to the CEO's of Enron, Global Crossing, Dynergy, and all the other wannabee non-existant Companies. The fair ones will be treated to being run by our federal government. We know that they are fair, and never dabble in our business. Life is not fair. We need to pass a law that life must always be fair. Terry

Vet, I do not like subsidies. Even those who do believe in them for the purpose of helping the average guy have to be aghast at how much of the money spent ends up in the pockets of people who do not need the money. But if one cares to talk subsidies, places like Europe and Canada are paragons of subsidy compared to the US. In fact, Canada's fanatical subsidies on ginseng ten years ago helped destroy the industry which I had an interest in at the time and that cost me money. I believe in a certain amount of tariffs. We simply cannot sit around importing billions of dollars of goods each month more than we export. Eventually we will pay a high price for all those cheap trinkets. The day of reckoning may already be at hand.
