the overage in meets will likely go to natives as government commodities first, in accordance with treaties. Or like letting go of the oil reserves, it could be timed to bring a small temporary drop to meat prices at the groceries, note that he is not buying beef, the droughts have taken care of that issue, now the issue is that feeding these bitches out on $7.20 bushel corn you wouldn't do even if the corn fed girl had 44JJs (well that may be slightly hyperbolic, I might do that.) Guy with 5000 feeder pigs a week is a medium small pig farmer down this way, and figure weaners at 20 bucks and it cost 26 bucks to feed them out and you get up one cold snowfuckingbank morning and begin the two 5 gallon buckets of feed carry that will go on for trip after trip, and you are gonna flip the lights on in the pig barn and say, guess what you boys are having for breakfast this mornin? HAM!!!!! And then pork goes up. Same thing with chickens, and your thanksgiving turkeys and your ducks and sheep and goats and.........

Leftists have been blocking new wells and entire new oil, coal, and shale fields for generations We would have been reaping the many benefits associated with access to cheap abundant energy a long time ago As an added benefit the worlds poor could eat corn this coming fall (as well as beef) if it werent for the likes of Barack Obama quote: ORIGINAL: LadyConstanze So let's use it all now and not think about the future...

Thats a deceitful straw man argument mark, you should be deeply ashamed of yourself No one is calling for an end to agricultural aid, but a temporary moratorium on the presidents mandating that food be used for fuel in a time of shortage due to severe drought is a common sense measure that I am sure even Iowans could understand, and get on board with How is this even a partisan issue quote: ORIGINAL: SilverMark Wonder who came up with the Ethanol mandate and signed it in 2005?....just asking.... Subsidies on agriculture started in 1929, the largest beneficiaries are Iowa, Texas and Kansas....not so sure they are going anywhere no matter the party of the President. Let's see Romney claim he will end them!....LOL....

SilverMark -> RE: President Obama wants to starve poor people to buy votes in the Midwest. (8/15/2012 3:27:44 PM)
It is actually already being discussed at the White House Tom, I am shocked you didn't know that. Ethanol will simply become to expensive to use in fuel with the drought in the midwest, states can also individually roll back the requirement that there be some percentage of ethanol in the fuel used within their state. It truly isn't a straw man Tom, it is me reminding some of when the legislation came about and why. As for subsidies, no one will fuck with the Ag lobby and both sides know that, I threw the Romney thing in for FUN[:D]

Try again mark From far left NBC: quote: President Barack Obama announced emergency measures Monday to ease the impact of the worst drought in half a century, but stopped short of waiving the government’s requirement that a large portion of the now-shriveled corn crop be diverted to make ethanol... ...On Friday, the government confirmed what cattle ranchers, pork farmers and poultry producers have feared as this summer’s deepening drought has destroyed much of this year's corn crop.... ...As the lowest yields in nearly two decades squeeze feed supplies, livestock producers are asking the government to waive a five-year-old requirement that gasoline sold in the U.S. contain roughly 9 percent ethanol. Because most ethanol in the U.S. is made from corn, roughly 40 percent of the corn crop, in a good year, is purchased by the biofuel industry. http://economywatch.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/13/13260895-white-house-offers-drought-relief-feels-heat-to-waive-ethanol-mandate

The president doesnt mandate that, the laws of the US does. Rather than foolish prose, how about you show us the law and we will see under what conditions (and even if) the president can singlehandedly waive that.

Congress is getting hammered for failing to take action on a farm bill before leaving Washington for a five-week recess. At stake is the reauthorization of a five-year, $500 billion bill that has become stuck in election-year politics.

I dont have faith in anything you post, including links. I want to see the law. I do not wish to be an untutored engorger of shoddy yellow journalism as is the want of so many rightists.

And let us remember that all the 'leftists' told all the 'rightists' what a stupid fucking bill that ethanol FROM CORN mandate was for reasons like this. So they are once again for it before they are against it.

dcnovice -> RE: President Obama wants to starve poor people to buy votes in the Midwest. (8/15/2012 4:40:24 PM)
FR I'm always touched by how the use of corn for ethanol draws forth from our right-wing brethren a not previously conspicuous concern for the poor.

mnottertail -> RE: President Obama wants to starve poor people to buy votes in the Midwest. (8/15/2012 4:44:14 PM)
Nor an admission that they passed that bill over strenuous objection.

Sanity -> RE: President Obama wants to starve poor people to buy votes in the Midwest. (8/15/2012 5:38:00 PM)
Its just that our concern is genuine, hence no need to wear it on our sleeves the way so many on the left do And then turn their back the moment it becomes inconvenient for the fashionable green cause of the day quote: ORIGINAL: dcnovice FR I'm always touched by how the use of corn for ethanol draws forth from our right-wing brethren a not previously conspicuous concern for the poor.
