Ep 1304 China: Eating Up America's Farmland?

Michael Olson with Washington State Congressman Dan Newhouse China is buying up America’s farmland…  with the money we send it to manufacture stuff for us in their coal-burning factories.  Some say this a good deal because we don’t have to work in those factories.  Others say it’s a bad deal because we are selling out our future.  And so we ask:  Should China be allowed to buy up America’s best farmland? Topics include why China is having trouble feeding its people; how China is buying up America's farmland; and whether Congressman Dan Newhouse and fellow legislators can stop China from buying up America's farmland.
