 TW> Actualy FEED prices are WAY up because of the LIBERAL IDIOT
 TW> decision to make Alcohol out of a FOOD/FEED Crop.

 A: The feed companies and energy companies are not liberals, and
 they jumped into bio-fuel.

 B: Early on I denounced bio-fuel as in a world where people are
 going hungry turning food into fuel is immoral.

 I also posted a msg in which I asked how many children have to
 die to fuel an SUV.

 C: There was a commentary in the local paper by a bio-fuel
 company pointing out that food prices jumped far more than fuel
 production would warrant, and out of sync with bio-fuel
 diversions. Their point was, the grain companies are using the
 bio-fuel production as an excuse to raise prices.

 D: I would not be surprised to find all the above are true.

BK>> This country is facing a problem with bad debt now. I see it

 TW> AND your Beloved President OBASMA is making the Dept

 The bad debt problem is not government debt, but private sector.
 And if nothing is done, it is likely defaults will grow
 drastically. It's not the growth in debt, but the loss of
 ability to pay it that is the danger.

 About 10 years ago I did quite a bit of traveling, which
 involved renting cars or vans. Of all the vans, I found the
 Dodge Caravan to be the best.

 The Taurus had a reputation among the top. I drove a lot of ford
 Escorts, and liked them. Chevy had some nice cars also.

 The Saturn was supposedly a top brand, so why is GM considering
 closing it out?
