High fuel prices, which have made transportation more expensive, rising demand in Asia, the use of farmland and crops for biofuels, a long drought in Australia and speculation on futures markets have combined to push up food prices worldwide.

We can all thank the greenies for high fuel prices and the ethanol madness. Their sheer lunacy has distorted the markets (including commodity futures).

The effects of Big Government (i.e., the attitude that we know better than you) are so predictable.

Of course, the leftists will probably start yelling about unrestrained population growth, evil capitalism, climate change, the war in Iraq, and so forth. They might even throw in a few cries of "women, children, and minorities hardest hit" or "it's all Bush's fault." But, in the end, any "solutions" that they have to offer will only make things worse.

“Of course, the leftists will probably start yelling about unrestrained population growth....”

That's why the left so eagerly supports abortion. The left also is big on euthanasia. And we all know how avidly the left pursues genocide.
