He wants you to pay Afghan farmers to NOT grow poppies

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration is considering whether to pay off Afghan farmers to stop them from growing heroin poppies on contract for the Taliban, senior officials said Tuesday.


Paying farmers not to plant poppy would essentially supplant U.S. cash for the fees paid up front by the Taliban to its contract farmers. The idea seems to follow logically from the administration's policy of protecting Afghan civilians and eroding support for the insurgency, but skeptics say it won't work because farmers would take the money and plant poppies anyway.

I recieved $1.32 for years to not plant rye on my farm I never have never wwill and have no idea why they fear my planting rye.

Our cap and ax bill is propping foreign subsidies. No the IRS will enter many places in america to work us over but I am afraid the IRS in afghanistan will fall face first into the dust.

Nearly all cash handled on the foreign end of cap and tax will be ouched by fraud. we can even get raw food goods distributed correctly. Money? not in this world.

Dumb idea. They'll just grow it anyway.

If this helps further deficit spending that will ensure this nation will be held in captivity to the lenders, it will likely be very pleasing to Barrack's wife and Barrack (and a few Rothchilds as well).
