OK, I will have a go at it for you. Rice and wheat prices have skyrocketed in the past year. Do you really believe that is because the people of China and India are suddenly eating twice as much rice as they did a year ago?
There is no food shortage. There is a dollar overabundance. The flood of money the FED has been printing to prop up the economy here has seriously rattled the world wide house of cards.
Blame that on Bush? No. First, he doesn't control the FED and second, if he read my comment he'd have no idea what to make of it. I blame the American people for constantly voting for tax "cuts" that really amounted to debt increases. Our debt has reached the point where it requires a constant string of magic acts by the FED to stave off a worldwide crash the likes of 1929.
So yeah, stockpile food. And vote for John McCain because his tax "cuts" will add another trillion dollars a year to the $10 trillion Bush will leave.
And have a nice day. :)
