I just put this in the Iowa Forum

Gov's Branstad & Brownback want to sell Iowa assets to China
Radio Iowa link:

Cut:
Brownback — the governor of Kansas — did suggest he wants Iowa to join with Kansas and other Midwestern states to “jointly market” the Midwest to foreign investors.
“Particularly China,” Brownback said, “particularly with the assets and the connection that Iowa has with the leadership and their interest in investing in hard assets in the Midwest.”
End Cut:
This make the hair on my neck stand up. They will sell us out and take money and run.

They've done this for 30 fucking years! I can't believe we are headed in this direction!
I've had it with "trickle down" horseshit. And the Bush tax cuts. They didn't work!
The GOP canard of "cutting taxes on the wealthy so they will 're-invest' in America" is pure equine excrement! 
They will, indeed, take the money and run (to some secret offshore tax haven).
These people treat state property like it is their to practically give away.
