the worst part about it is the government is still paying farmers not to farm. And they are still giving farmers other insane subsidies, never mind the ridiculous corn for ethanol subsidy, all while food prices keep on rising, and ethanol keeps killing gas mileage.

Correct again. Add to this inflation, where it takes more dollars to buy fewer goods, and well, the picture for Joe America does not bode well.

Have you been to a grocery store, lately man? It's like that film Platoon! Boxes half-empty, but still charging more, smaller portions, lower quality, etc.

It sucks.

Burning our main food staple for fuel was a stupid idea, even for the parasites in the District of Corruption. The fact it ruins older engines make it even worse! My heart goes out to anyone struggling, who happens to own an older car, or cannot afford a new car right now. These people should have had a choice!
