This does not mean that production prices that farmers receive will go up, there were no production acreage limitations and few initiatives to foster real prices increases for farmers. However, I am hopeful that the Rural Investment Development Initiatives and Conservation Initiatives will be a help to family farm incomes. The Act may help prevent severe rural economy downturns.
New uses for farm products and using more of farm resources to produce renewable energy and other products could help bolster farm production prices. Altering Global Economic Policies to improve broad per capita earnings worldwide would recharge the demand for most farm productions. This would greatly improve the entire global economy.
House Bill HR 2646 | Senate Bill S. 1731 Thomas Legislative Information
Analysis of Farm Security and Rural Development Act
This could be a cost effective investment which might result in higher tax revenue returns which could equal the initial tax investment costs. The return on the use of your tax money is what counts and if the tax investment produces sufficient wealth production and new tax revenues canceling out the initial tax investment costs then it is a cost-effective investment return ratio that yields beneficial returns for most of America. The economic improvement filters through a countries entire economy.The rural economic investment and conservation investment portions will yield beneficial returns to the small farmers and to all of the related rural community economies. Milk is receiving a support which may or may not help the dairy farmers and the economies of Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, California and other states. We must work to find ways to improve milk prices to the dairy farmers, and increased demand is a vital factor toward milk price improvements.
U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone (D) of MN, worked hard to get the Rural Economic Investment Incorporated in the Farm Bill. These provisions will provide the stable foundation and economic stability upon which the rest of Americas' economy can be built.
Many of the Republicans fought the bill in the House, but it passed, and they fought it tooth and nail in the Senate but it passed the Senate 64 to 35, and President Bush has pledged to sign it.All farmers along with rural communities, and city dwellers as well, can be thankful for the diligent work of the Democrats on this important economic stimulus bill and should reward them in the voting booths across America.
Farmers do a lot of fence building and maintenance and repair of buildings which creates the demand needed to stimulate the foundations of America's economy. For example, pickups trucks represent the main profit makers for GM and other major auto manufacturers. Farmers spend the money they earn.
Senator Luger did not consider the increased rural economic development expansion and tax revenue increases on the the increased profits that should result in this farm bill as being a good investment return ratio proposition. This bill should not have any negative effect on Social Security benefits or on media care.
We need to wage a war against our common global enemies — "poverty and hunger," in the same way that we marshaled our resources against the enemy axis during W.W.II.
2) The extremes in the volatility of currency values creates non competitive trade differentials. We need to reduce the number of currencies and implement corrective fair trade adjustments to moderate those differentials.
There are huge built-in global production cost differentials between Developed and Developing countries that are due to broad differences in regulations and costs in every production arena. All of which need to be adjusted in all trade policies.
3) All of the existing trade agreements must be re-negotiated towards the balancing of all the major non competitive price differentials. This is why we need to retain import quotas and tariffs instead of phasing them out under existing trade policy. All major economic classifications must be provided reasonable equity of economic opportunity.
4) Genuine grassroots economic development that translates to butter, beef, and production of renewable energy—not merely the excessive production of offensive military armaments! A non exploitative, and just development of all economies worldwide would help resolve the strife that leads to revolutions and war.
5) It is critical that we develop, utilize, and implement, renewable energy resources worldwide. We do not hear these critical issues thoroughly debated in our presidential and congressional political arenas and campaigns.
6) We need to help farmers develop vertically integrated production and marketing cooperatives that would provide competition to the monopoly buyers that exist today.
7) We ought to pass legislation that would marginalize the large corporate genetic bio-tech patenting of the seeds of all crop varieties whereby they can control the markets and charge farmers what ever they want to.
8) We need to provide low interest rate loans to farmers.
9) Transnational corporations must not be allowed to profiteer by exploiting the labor of developing countries. Developing the per capita demand side of all economies to levels where per capita demand will generate the production of goods and services within its own homeland/country.
Applying creative and just means to righteous ends is a much more efficient use of our intellect and money! When a proper standard of living for all people is met, the threat of war will become greatly diminished.
The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade is doing away with many of the mechanisms needed to establish global competitiveness between countries. When economic policy justice is established between countries in the arenas of production cost differentials, currency differentials, and all the other noncompetitive element factors, then prosperity will begin to be re-established across the entire global economy. When all the segments of the economies of all countries are allowed to prosper through the implementation of "reasonably fair competitive global regulatory policies," the major causal source of our economic problems will have been effectively eliminated.
A far better way to cut taxes is to regulate global economic policy so that the entire spectrum of all homeland economies of countries achieve genuine prosperity. When the real per capita income levels rise to new heights across the entire economic spectrum this will allow the reduction of per capita income taxes, while simultaneously reducing all debt loads. The proper regulation of global economic policy is critical to mutual long term economic stability for all economic sectors within all countries.
All of the existing trade agreements must be re-negotiated towards "the balancing of all the major fundamental non competitive price differentials." This is why we need to retain import quotas and tariffs instead of phasing them out under existing trade policy. We need to develop Global Economic Policies that Produces a Balance between the Economic Sector production cost differentials of countries on a Worldwide basis.

We can produce mutual win/win economic policy making equations that will help prosper every economic sector. All farmers must be informed by, and have two-way global media capabilities through their own programmed global satellite channel networks with associated newsgroups, ListServs, and Internet Web sites.
