A) A small farmer is going to invest in a machine to pick oranges... ok. Yeah. Right.
B) Now he has to maintain that machine... more $$$...
Some people just don't think things out beyond their own nose. Like the economists that say raising the rates is a good thing. Yeah, OK. For who?
What ever. The Bush-ites are in power right now... all the *****in' I do ain't gonna change it!

Most farming nowadays is done by large agro-corps. They can afford the machines (if it comes to that).
There are no hard numbers regarding just exactly how much more expensive a head of lettuce, or a flat of strawberries will be w/o illegal farm workers.
Bush is in favor of "more open" borders. It is the Dems who have come out more hard core on this issue (maybe just to make Bush look bad).
I disagree with any economist who says, just on general principles, that higher interest rates are better for the economy. Too much "free money" (low rates) is not good. But hyper high interest rates are the death of any economy.
