Screwed Again

The local rag has an article claiming we have a shortage of corn that predicts a significant increase in food prices within the next few months. Economics says that high demand and low supply results in high prices. The Boss says she's been seeing a steady increase the last several months as it is.

The Fed Gov't has been subsidizing ethanol production as a fuel source. The only reason I can think of for this is that it's not economic viable and/or that in somebodies utopian world, fossil fuels are no longer used. Either way we're screwed again.

Whenever politicians mess with the natural order, they always mess it up. Whether intentional or unintended the long term always, always results in the citizens taking it in the ass. The least they could do is buy us dinner before we get screwed.

And I've been asked why the sign on the back of my truck.
"FIRE THE FED GOV'T"

And another thing.

Tonight I read an article, with damn good evidence, the our wonderful Gov't has been cooking the books regards the national unemployment rate. I had thought so, but I didn't know it was this bad. The recently reported drop in unemployment is a lie. It hasn't dropped at all. And the real rate is not just under 10%, but more like a little over 20%.

Not only do politicians lie whenever their lips move, but so do the agencies.
