Our farmers will pay the price
Financial Express, India - 9 hours ago It would be fatal to destroy the production base of the country with the influx of cheap imports and later pay high prices at the dictates of overseas suppliers
If the government wants to keep prices under control, it should try a logical option like cracking down on hoarders and market manipulators. Imports should be facilitated only in commodities that are in short supply. The technology mission could achieve near self-sufficiency in oilseeds production. But the import liberalisation launched in the mid-1990s completely wiped out the gains of the technology mission and today the country is a major importer of vegetable oils. Another case was when duty-free cotton imports were allowed in the early 1990s. The monopoly procurement of Cotton Corporation was terminated and imports placed under OGL. Subsequently, a surge in imports depressed domestic prices, pushing farmers into a debt trap -- and suicides. The government realised the situation and raised the import duty to 5% in the year 2000 and today it is at a low 6%. No wonder the incidence of farmers’ suicides is still on the rise in the cotton belts of the country.

ND judges seek pay raises
Bismarck Tribune, USA - 2 hours ago The judges plan to ask the next Legislature to raise their pay 7 percent the first year of the two-year budget cycle, and 6 percent the second year.
"to whoa, actually these individuals have more control than you think. When they are sentencing some individuals you can clearly see that the barganing etc. that goes on by all parties is partially to blame but when the judges are sentencing these individuals, they are also deferring most of the sentences and fines. Also as you can clearly see, the judges aren't consistant. Some get a better deferred sentence than others and if you read who the repeat offenders are you will see that it is not consistant. Thanks for letting me vent."
