remmember all those "foreign aid" packages that make US citizens feel so warm and fuzzy inside. well they come with a nasty little barb - the trade agreements that come with them end up doing more harm than good, for example although maize is one of South Africa's biggest exports we are obligated to import a large quantity of maize from the states at whatever price the US chooses to set.
this is apparently common practise, but for some inexplicable reason our government chooses to accept anything and everything shoved down their throats
*sigh*
so thanks Thabo and thanks US for screwing our economy worse than ever
