THE TRUTH

The Fed Can't Save Us from World Food Shortages

Give me a break, please! What a load of crap. Yes, the price of food has gone up dramatically and it has very little to do with ethanol. The price of everything from grains to metals to global equities has gone up drastically because of speculation driven by nothing more than an excess of dollars. This excess of dollars is the result of nothing more than greedy investors and over-consumers whining for an irresponsible government to pump more dollars into the system every time the flow of the free money spigot begins to slow down. That's it. Period. Show me where the shortage is? Who is not getting food that needs it? Who is not getting fuel that needs it? If you're going to take the free monopoly money ride and enjoy its results - ridiculous speculative housing gains, ridiculous speculative equity gains, and ridiculous speculative commodity gains - then shut up and pay your grocery bill or accept a tighter monetary policy and the cold hard fact that maybe you're not supposed to get everything for nothing.
