Several factors contribute to higher food prices, analysts say, but none more than record prices for oil, which last week closed above $105 a barrel. Oil is not only driving up production and transportation costs, but also adding to demand for corn and soybeans, used to make alternative fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel.

As a result, corn prices have more than doubled in commodity markets over two years, and soybeans nearly tripled, according to DTN, a commodities analysis firm in Omaha. Meanwhile, with poor harvests in major wheat-producing regions, wheat prices have more than tripled.

Good old liberal policies of not drilling for our own oil, using clean coal, not supporting nuclear power, etc have helped contribute to the increase in oil prices all the while they rail against the current administration for being dependent and beholden to "big oil"!!!

The whole global warming hysteria has led to the wonderful bureaucrats in Washington to make uniformed decisions about biofuels and so forth, all to secure votes and support from the farmers. Little did they know, that biofuels have a greater impact on the environment than that evil stuff we use called oil! Hahahaha, what a bunch of knuckleheads.

The interesting thing is to see how all of this fits together to shed further light on how government works. Governments do no solve problems, they manage them. If government solved problems, there would be no need for government. Therefore, we now have a big problem coming together that the current lot of presidential candidates seem to have a limitless number of solutions for. Government created this problem and now they want to sell us on a solution.

And this is the same government that LIBERALS want to manage health care!!!!

Now that is terrifying.
