I would think that agriculture is something that should take off. Insurgents love to hit things that are concentrated. They won't have much luck working against small producers. Unfortunately, if the USDA works there as they do here the long term health of the sector could be threatened. One of the big problems from the beginning of this mess was the insistance on concentrating power. The generation of politicians we have, whether Democrats or Republicans, believe in extremely powerful centralized government and a well controlled economy. This attitude is anti-freedom and in an era of asymetrical warfare, deadly.

As an aside, this talking point business is brilliant use of propaganda. Clinton really was a cunning devil and Bushes people are quick learners.
