The liberals aren't satisfied with rising gasoline
costs. They want us to be miserable at the dinner table as well--and everywhere
else. "Anyone with an ounce of brains would have realized that diverting
crops from food to fuel use would raise the prices of corn-fed livestock, such
as pork, beef, chicken and dairy products, and products made from corn, such as
cereals. Ethanol production has led to increases in other grain prices, such as
soybean and wheat. Since the U.S. is the world’s largest grain producer and
exporter, higher grain prices have had a huge impact on food prices
worldwide." And then there is the marked increase in shipping costs caused
by increasing gasoline prices, which has caused the price of EVERYTHING to
rise, as well, since everything we consume must be shipped. In addition to
that, we're starting to see airlines going out of business or declaring Chapter
11 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy because they can't pay their bills (Chapter 11
allows them to stay in business while making plans to pay; Chapter 7 means
"it's all over.") As this problem mushrooms into everybody's life,
the liberals are on a five-week paid vacation while still opposing what can
relieve the problem. (Atlasphere)
