Too pump, or not too pump?

We should restrict the amount of wheat sent over there. After all, it is our wheat, and we might run out.

 

I still say it is time to stop our export of all of the oil. Alaska and whatever. Keep our oil and reduce the imports. If they want our food, consider price reductions on the oil. If they don't want to, so what, let them eat their oil.

911 proved Saudi's are not our friends. They are only the friend of the oil industry.

 

It's not "our" wheat. It's the farmers wheat. He has a right to sell it to any where he sees fit.

 

It is the farmers wheat yes. But we have the right to restrict where it is sold. We have done this with Cuba and Iran in the past.

 

you are right they cannot restrict where the farmers sell their wheat however they sure could put a tarriff on its export equal to the cost it would take to bring oil down to say 50 bucks a barrel

 

Grain is sold to Cuba.

On February 25, 2001 the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act took effect and expanded the list of products eligible for export and approved commercial agricultural exports to Cuban private and public sector entities. This change in policy translated into relatively large U.S. grain exports to the nearby market.

 

It is now, but for years there was no trade with Cuba.
