THANKS yet again Dennis Kucinich. This certainly is a VERY POSITIVE turn of events, but we of course shouldn't become TOO complacent. There still is T-TIP waiting in the wings, not to mention NAFTA and the WTO. The driving force behind these agreements is our monetary system, reform for which has already been submitted - not once but TWICE - before Congress in the form of the exceptionally well designed NEED Act by former Congressman Kucinich, co-signed by John Conyers. We all MUST study the connection between our current monetary system and "free" trade or we will be doomed to failure yet again. This is my attempt based on the works of the late Charles Walters, founder of Acres USA and himself a trained economist: http://www.thetwofacesofmoney.com/index.php/Site/FreeTradeAndOurMoneySystem

Withdrawing from the deal will be welcome news to progressive Democrats and labor groups.

YAYYYYY! Climate Change and monetary policy made the Guardian: article titled "To Deal with Climate Change We Need a New Monetary System", be sure to read and like the comments about the NEED ACT (which was BTW discussed in my book) https://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2016/nov/05/how-a-new-money-system-could-help-stop-climate-change

Abolishing debt-based currency isn’t a new idea, but it could hold the secret to ending our economies’ environmentally damaging addiction to growth

"Soil health directly affects plant, animal and human health. It also impacts topsoil erosion, water management and ocean pollution. Most importantly, it is now recognized that climate change is directly related to soil mismanagement." http://ecofarmingdaily.com/the-soil-solution/

I agree, but add that monetary reform must be a part of that solution - because monetary policy drives land use!

Land grabs by multinational corporations also take place right here in the United States - not just in third world countries like Africa. All driven by our current economic/monetary system. So it is that "In July [of 2015] Utah’s Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining issued a permit clearing the way for the opening of this country’s first commercial tar sands mine, PR Spring, which is owned by a Canadian company called U.S. Oil Sands" See https://www.audubon.org/magazine/september-october-2015/tar-sands-mining-hits-american-west

A plan is in place to open the first commercial mine in Utah.

"The World Bank estimates that in 2009 over 45 million hectares of land were taken over by investors worldwide, most of it in Africa" - and always to feed the "green economy" myth. Article here: http://www.southworld.net/africa-land-grabbing/

“One morning, in our village of Samana Dugu in Mali, some bulldozers appeared and started clearing the land. When we protested, the police came and began to beat us and many of us were arrested,”

Just as Nouriel Roubini (Dr. Doom) predicted in 2014, "the mother of all assets bubbles" appears to be bursting, right on schedule. The growing gap between the "monetary base" and the "broad money supply" shown in the chart below explains why, predictably, the Real Economy has barely limped along while the Financial Economy soared, creating the current "mother of all asset bubbles." http://www.businessinsider.com/richard-koo-struggle-between-markets-and-central-banks-has-only-just-begun-2015-9?r=UK&IR=T Perhaps it's time for QE for the people - or better yet and more appropriately, perhaps it's time for proper monetary reform. Will the people (aka "the beast of muddy brain") mobilize at long last - or will we continue to give ourselves "death and war for pence doled out by kings from our own stores?"

"Current farm programs hardly qualify as a safety net for the family farm but are instead a taxpayer giveaway to big and already profitable farming businesses. Moreover, these payments are likely exacerbating, rather than solving, the problems of rural communities." from: http://www.ewg.org/agmag/2010/05/farm-income-data-debunks-subsidy-myths

The dirty secret is that the overwhelming majority of all farming households must rely on multiple sources of income.

The dirty secret is that the overwhelming majority of all farming households must rely on multiple sources of income.

It might seem like a good time to be part of the small farm business: More people than ever want to eat locally produced food, even casual restaurants name-check farms on their menus, and urban farmers' markets teem with the young and beautiful. But if you are David Maren, you know the truth:
