I'm not sure but your name is cool-i should've picked something like that.Why is it mor e important to cultivate land than foreign trade?
Suppose you want to cultivate land to grow grapes here in America rather than importing them from Chile. First, you will need a bank loan to buy land and operate the farm. You will need to purchase seed, fertilizer and machinery to grow and harvest the crop. You will need to hire workers to pick the crop and trucks to carry the crop to the factory or winery or whatever. All of this creates an exchange of money between hands and stimulates the local economy, contributes to jobs and of course, you will need to pay interest on the loan and taxes. So that helps out the bank and our government.





So you see that in cultivating the land ourselves, we do ourselves a big favor since it's a community effort in the end. Money is generated and exchanges hands and it stays in America.
what you are implying is that whether it is better to fix, to turn the wheels on the problem of your partner or just to trade him for something new.......why is it more important to keep him and fix the problem......should we kill what we do not like or should we show a way to be liked.........i'm die'in here, i am totally loosing my mind, i think i needs a break for a minute
Self reliance, do not have to depend on foreign trade to survive.
Foreign trade can be lost as soon as the leader of the nation changes
It's not an either or proposition. They both go together. One does not fuction well without the other.
i'd like to know this as well considering i think it is much more important to negotiate with foreign trade than to continuously exploit the one resource we cannot replace.
