Could it be the morons in DC are starting to pay attention to food prices?

Why, with commodity prices where they are, is there any need for a “farm bill”? Surely we’re still not worried about family farms are we?

"Antihunger groups say food stamp benefits have lost 5 percent of their purchasing power since last summer. HA....from what I see of food stamp users they could stand to lose 5% of their body weight....so losing 5% of purchasing power would be a HEALTHY THING.

The 51-cent-a-gallon tax credit for corn-based ethanol would drop to 45 cents, House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson, said in describing the ongoing discussions. The Minnesota Democrat said a tax credit would be created for ethanol derived from cellulose, found in grasses, woody plants and crop debris. "This is what the country wants," Peterson said, referring to development of cellulosic ethanol. Livestock groups say rapid growth of the corn-based ethanol industry is driving up feed costs and rippling through to higher grocery prices.
A Senate Finance Committee proposal called for a production tax credit of up to $1.01 a gallon for cellulosic ethanol, ending on December 31, 2012. The infant industry is moving toward commercial-scale plants.
What a crock, the lobbyist tell these clowns, on Capitol hill, to squat and they say how much sir.
Ethanol should not get a dime area credit is pissing money away.

So the Dems jack up food stamps in the Ag bill (feeding programs make up the bulk...no pun intended...of the Ag budget now) so that the US taxpayers will pay the soaring cost for food caused by the Dems’ mandating ethanol production. Being a liberal means you never admit your blunders, and you always make someone else pay for them.
