Yeah our American inner cities are getting closer and closer to the 7%, all the while spending on education is incresing volumes. Something wrong with this picture.
As far a a farmer not being able to afford seeds, this is perhap the BEST investment these banks who are sitting on tons of unused cash can make. Something wrong here as well.

EVERYTHING is wrong! Remember, Monsanto is a big corporation with far reaching tentacles!
