Of course the greenies at the SF Chron couldn’t get themselves to mention their pet project ethanol as contributing to the price increase.
Also the selfishness of the left is exhibited in full splendor by them resenting the fact that people that used to starve in China and India are actually making enough money nowdays to afford what we’ve been eating, and that grates them the wrong way because their prices at Whole Food are going up!!!
The Ethanol Boondoggle should be a major campaign issue. We’ve been bamboozled into a catastrophic national (and global) policy by Big Corn, and Iowa’s agriculture lobby is going to be the next target for the enmity of ratepayers, replacing the Texas oil barons. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO STARVE FOR THE SAKE OF THIS LIBERAL FEELGOOD CRAP, AND THEY WON’T CARE, THEY WON’T KNOW, AND THEY WON’T DO ANYTHING. Reminds me of Walter Duranty’s blood-stained Pulitzer Prize.
