Water Crisis Hits Southern California Farmers

[davidrobinsonmagic]

Think if the farmers stand out there in the dried up crop fields long enough and chant "Hope & Change" that Obama will send the rain???

These Progressive Libs are destroying our country! Wake up America!

[bambambullies1]

they are trying to force us to eat more fish,meat and chicken which they are going to poison for population reduction world wide.

[paragod666]

California farmers export 70% of their crops. Meanwhile, the EPA maintains standards on American farmers while we import produce not held to the same standards. Farmers make more money exporting their food versus selling it on the US markets. What a fucking joke.

The fish that they are protecting does not live here. It has been imported. So we were here first. The delta smelt is plentiful all over the US.

Second point. Where are you going to buy your fruits and vegetables? China, Brazil? What if they do not sell the food to you. Then you will die. We will all die. Imported food will cost 10 times of what it does now. Do you want to spend for lettuce $10 a head.. get used to it. That is what the feds are advocating. You can not eat dirt.

Americans could care less. They cant see past their supermarket shelves and trashy reality TV. To the average American if its not a natural habitat or a condominium complex it has no value! If they could push a Chinese made E-phone button to zap you and your fields away they would. Oh by the way the congress and Senate will do it for them because its easier to tax, regulate and control imported foods.

[api9mm]

After all the income levels of the average rural community is too low for any court to give a damn about your job loss. Now a community of practitioners, lawyers, accountants and importers has greater benefit to a local tax collector. Away with you sweaty farmers with your dirty fingernails.
