" The US sugar policy is borderline criminal."

All farm subsidies should be eliminated. All they do is distort economic activity.

Naw, the obvious solution is yet more government interference. Subsidize the sugar producers via direct subsidies and defacto price controls, and then subsidize the product manufacturers with taxpayer funds to offset their increased cost of production. Hmmm we can tax...oh I know, the aerospace and auto industries! Hmmm, well, we have to subsidize them too though, in part to make up for taxing them so harshly.

*iterate procedure until everything is taxed more to prop up artificially high wages in more sectors (we are all gunna me rich)*

Daayam, where did that inflation come from? Basic economics? Impossible, must be Jewish bankers or chicoms or maybe the fed needs to fiddle some more. Maybe we can chop some zeros off the standing currency and everything will be cheap again (ala Chavez). I guess we can go back to the "good ol' days" when a refrigerator cost 25% of the average yearly salary. But hey, at least the wage disparity between the guy who staples fabric onto cardboard and a medical doctor will be lower.
