Water availablity, salt-water intrusion and agricultural practices create California drama
It's frustrating to follow the money when the money meets itself coming back. And since American taxpayer money pays for all those subsidies and grants, Americans are now smack in the middle of the issue whether they live in California or somewhere else.
"You got pork in my water."
"Yeah? Well, you got water in my pork."
I used to wonder about us sending aid to countries, but I'm beginning to see that we owe help to everyone else because we are often a large part of the reason for their need of help. I suppose I'll just have to go tongue in cheek and label it as environmental outsourcing by our government.
