Since we don’t have any kind of Grain reserve as every government has done for thousands of years why not a raisin reserve? We will need something to eat when the sh!t hits the fan

Nonsense, we must have a Raisin Reserve to keep ahead in the Fruitcake race.

Only feral government experts are qualified to solve the raisin problem. Well, heck. Only feral government experts are even aware of the inter-continental raisin crisis that could bring civilization to its knees. Do you have any idea what that stubby little fat creep with the funny-looking hair cut in Pyongyang does to the North Korean raisin crop every year?

This explains why John Kerry ran for President in 2004.

He wanted to free up more raisins.

Big Ag gets more welfare and government protection than any other industry.

Sounds like something out of fuedalism doesn’t it?

Do they also have to pay taxes on the remaining raisins when they are sold?

This government must be stopped....in its tracks.

There is absolutely no reason for such a gargantuan, drooling monster to be alive and kicking.

I heard of this years ago, back when I was in Farming/Horticultural Business for 22yrs. Absolute stupidity and insanity. Gov’t doesn’t solve problems; gov’t only makes problems. Kill the monster!

Why do we need full time law makers?

Libs warn of a crash in raisin prices without government intervention

http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jun/18/local/la-me-0619-abcarian-raisins-20130619

"But their free-market absolutism could be put to the test if they prevail in court and the price of raisins plummets. No one will be there to support them."

Isn't it touching how they care...

On Thursday, Rep. Trey Radel (R)introduced a bill that would eliminate the reserve’s legal underpinnings. It would end the 1949 rule, Marketing Order 989, that created the Raisin Administrative Committee and the reserve.

Well, it's a start! Probably 3000 government employees on this Committee by now.
