FARM CRISIS - CAUSES and SOLUTIONS
The
Low Farm Income Crisis has Workable Solutions - without Political Advocates
1) There is no farm production
surplus in relationship to the human need for food,
therefore, the core problem is lack of consumer per capita income in many
areas of the world. This per capita income distribution problem has resulted
in a food distribution problem resulting in food distribution shortages in poverty stricken human communities. 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 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. All major economic classifications must be provided a reasonable equity of economic
opportunity. 4) Genuine grassroots economic development that
translates to butter and beef, not guns! A non exploitative,
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 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 need 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. Applying creative and just means to righteous ends
is a much more efficient use of intellect and money! When a proper standard
of living for all people is met, the threat of war
will diminish. Agricultural Production Costs - *1997 USDA figures

Produce a Reasonable Balance between the Extreme Economic Production Cost
Differentials that exist between countries. These Production Cost Differentials
are Exploited by Transnational Corporations to
achieve unfair predatory advantages over homeland economies. 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. America is a Plutocracy
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. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade is doing
away with the 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
factors, then, and only then, will prosperity begin to be re-established
across the entire global economy. When all countries and segments of economies are allowed to prosper through the implementation of '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 genuinely prosper. 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 countries and their peoples. We can produce mutual win/win economic policy making
equations that will help prosper every economic sector.
