Mamie :
Thanks for your explanations and ideas. It seems that life in the USA is not so easy as I previously thought. And it seems that the U. S. Government is not so helpful with its own citizens that undergo disasters ( tornados, hurricanes, floodings ) or job losses.
If my country Colombia signs a treaty that causes thousands of peasants to lose their farms then the Government should pay the harm and damage.
But I know that those poor people in Colomnbia are going to recive not a single penny. Because here Industry and Services are pampered but not subsistence Agriculture.
I wish that I am wrong but if the Andean FTA is signed it would mean thousands and thousands of beggars in the streets.
And a second effect would be Emigrants to other countries where conditions are not so miserable.
Thanks again
Vicente Duque

Answer to Mamie
Mamie :
A friend from Missouri wrote me today to tell me that many people lost their farms to the bank in his rural area, including his own family and that he is never going to forget his suffering.
He tells me that such events are not uncommon.
If this happens in the Advanced USA then these catastrophes ( or depredetations ) would be easier to perform in Colombia.
I have called up some very cultured people here in Colombia and they tell me that they are also very scared about this Andean FTA.
But a majority of people here stay silent and quiet and don't protest against these absurd actions of governments.
I hope that we can study and analyze and take action if necessary in many countries against these depredations.
Thanks for your posts
