#1 As much as I hate subsidies of any kind, I have to say that it's not bad policy to maintain self-sufficiency in agriculture, no matter what the cost. Outsourcing our call centers is one thing, outsourcing our FOOD PRODUCTION is quite another. Give ourselves another Achilles heel equivalent to our imported oil addiction.

#2 No outsourcing of ag. We need to be able to fee ourselves. The Japanese know this. We should be as zealot like about it.

#4 The major nations of the "EU" are having tremendous difficulties affording their domestic [mostly Socialist] systems, as evident this week by new that France can only afford two of its newest class of tekky Destroyers, while the specifs of the all-Euro/EU nuke CV, espec between Britain and France, is still being argued out, plus news from Birtain that it wasn't for 9-11 and the threat from Radical islam, Britain may had put up its TRIDENT sub nukes on the chopping block - read, depend on the US, the USN/USAF, and NATO for its national nuclear deterrence in the entirety.
