Did you know? The U.S. and Canada back in February of this year agreed to use the MILITARY from either nation to send troops across each other�s borders during civil unrest (nope � not a conspiracy theory � google �Canada troops US�). Ask yourself what the advantage would be for the military to have Canadian troops on the ground in the US. You won�t like the answer. (This should also help you understand the disdain the current administration has for the Constitution)
So, for those of you who have your savings in dollars � this should be a wakeup call as well. Consider moving them to another currency or to a commodity like gold or silver. You might also want to buy a bit of wheat at today�s comparatively cheap prices.
This might be a decent trade off if it didn't take 2 gallons of oil to make 3 gallong of ethanol. Making ethanol from corn is most inefficient. We either should do it like Brazil does, efficiently or not at all. It cost tax dollars to subdize and it raises the price of food.
This is the result of environazis, convincing everyone about global warming, and how crude is disappearing, both of which are total lies.
When I first told people about this scenario, as globalony started to take hold, they all laughed and said there was no reason for anyone to try to use it as an excuse for money and power, Well, here it is, and life in the United States will never be the same again.
Get used to not having, because its all going overseas. Imagine us paying $18 a bushel for wheat, while our government sells wheat to a bitter enemy like China? Keep voting for the same people. Look where they got us so far.
It's self inflicted folks. Get off your cell phone, turn off your mp3 player, and take a long hard look at where we are. Its possible that we could salvage some of the Republic, but I don't think Americans are smart enough to even see the problem anymore.
The frog is in the pan, and the water has about reached boiling. Goodbye frog. Good by America.
Wheat will stabilize in this coming year due to more farmers capitalizing off the high prices. We have plenty of water in the USA this year, meaning there will be plenty of wheat for all next. Unless there is some catastrophic plague of insects or bacteria that targets specifically wheat...
And to those people that are mad "we" are selling our grain to "our enemy" China. That is what free markets are about, if China is willing to pay more for it who are you to tell them they can't sell it to them for a higher profit?
This shows you governments, specifically ours, need to keep their hands off our economy. Stop subsidizing farmers to grow a specific crop or to not grow at all. We have to grow as much as farmers are willing to, without government intervention and store up more grain in our times of surplus for possible hard times in the future. Grain can store for 30 years and still hold its nutritious value.
Prepare now and you won't suffer in the future no matter what that future brings.
Wheat is a pretty big commodity to be forgetting... so we can put corn in our gas tanks......HELLO..........Whose brainchild idea was it to grow the fuel for our tanks? I don't think this issue is going to go away anytime this year or even next year.
The "environazis" (good to get your strident biases out on the table quickly, John; it saves the rest of us time) that I know are totally opposed to fuel from food policies, because they've thought a lot about where our food comes from. And crude isn't disappearing? Gee, I thought when I burned it in my tank (a rarefied version of it, anyway), that it turned into CO2 and H2O, and wasn't "crude" any longer. If you can show me, scientifically, how that is not a disappearing act, you and I can make a lot of money off the energy crisis.
