Better yet, Uncle Sam should stop providing a price guarantee for commodities. Let the market work.

That is the best solution.......and on all of them.

I'm calling the Senate right now:

"Senator Chambliss, as a small-government Republican, do you think you can end all government subsidies and anti-free-market support of commodities, beginning with peanuts? Hello? Hello?"

Seems that on some issues, our boys are as bad as theirs. Oh well -- we get shelled again. That's politics!

That would be foolish.
While it is an imperfect solution, government price support of agricultural commodities are what guarantee us a stable and abundant food supply. Without them, we'd fall back into the natural cycle of "feast or famine" that is inherent in agriculture.

Having a "wasteful" and economicly "inefficient" food surplus is a luxury that we can afford.
It sure beats the hell out of the riots that would accompany food shortages.
