Growing corn for fuel is mindbogglingly stupid. That has created corn shortages and a huge increase in costs to agriculture. We buy corn for our horses, and the price is more than 1 and a half times what it was a year ago. Think what this means to the cost of raising cattle, chickens, pigs. Has your grocery bill gone up? Of course. and does corn for fuel have any affect on the price of a barrel of oil? Absolutely not.

End all agricultural and manufacturing subsidies. End all foreign aide. End all Congressional subsidies and apply term limits. Especially end all subsidies and bailouts for the banksters.

Yep...agree completely.

It’s been almost heartwretching seeing people buy into this nonsense. Agricultural people and those in the know have warned about the consequences...and that it would lead to worldwide food problems..and it is.
