For whatever reason...

... America goes to war in the middle-east. The price of gas increases, as the middle-east becomes volatile. As the price of gas rises, the fervor for alternative fuel-sources increases. Corn-oil, a popular alternative (oxymoron?) is developed into a very good fuel, which increases the value of corn. The second use of corn creates a higher demand of corn, raising its price. Since corn gets expensive, feeding livestock gets expensive. Since feeding livestock is expensive, the yield of livestock becomes expensive; making a gallon of milk costs four goddamn dollars.

Fuck Bush.

Solution? Grow more corn. The free market works and Bush is a genius.

>>2
For now, milk is overpriced; and that's all I care about. More corn ought to be grown, yes; but since when did people use common sense on such a large scale, eh?

>>3
In the formation of the United States of America. It's why we're such a great country. Where else would people complain when a gallon of milk is a mere 0.004% of their income?

I'm poor, which means that $4.00 is alot. Plus I really like milk, so I get a bit more than the average amount thereof.

FAIL.  One-third of the US corn crop is already devoted to ethanol.  Diverting food crops into fuel crops is iconically stupid.  Expanding the base of corn is not possible since not all arable land is sufficient for corn.

OTHER THE OTHER HAND, non-food crops like switch grass not only produce more ethanol per acre raised, but it can also be grown on all those acres that are substandard (at best) for corn.

If the free market were really working here, the Congressional farm subsidies wouldn't exist, as they act behind the scenes to severe distort the ability of farmers and distributors to bring the best crops to market for the purpose.

i think most people are too stupid to understand the difference between cellulosic ethanol and regular, sugar based ethanol.  they need to before they open their mouths and spew shit all over the discussion

This thread isn't over until a solution for cheaper milk is reached.

Why last night in our smoking jackets one the chaps and shared a joke about cellulosic ethanol and regular, sugar based ethanol.

I'm Libertarian therefore I disagree with you and continue saying the free market works.

Libertarianism: When criminals storm your house, rape your wife, kill your kids and strangle you, there is no police to call. In your last seconds on Earth, you watch them carrying out your TV and stereo and gasp "The...system...works!"

Your gun will protect you? No, wuss! They've got more guns than you. You're still dead.

BTW Vote Ron Paul: Nicely Insane.

A good point.

Also, whatever happened to the idea of using algae as the biomass?

well, that really just means if we assasinate bush, we can lower the price of milk. wow. thats really just amazing how much killing bush could improve our country. I'm just at a loss for words how other people agree with me. I wrote down a very long chain reaction that means that bush ruins pretty much every element of american life

FUCKING AWESOME NOW WE CAN USE C0RN AS FULEZ OMGS LULZ

>>5
Sell your computer dipshit and stop spending money on the internet. It must be worth several years worth of milk.

Also get a job.

The only reason we need so much food is because of overpopulation. Population must be balanced so that GDP per capita is at it's highest. It's utilitarian. All those illegal immigrants will just have to go fuck themselves because it's not our fault their countries are not sophisticated enough to prevent overpopulation and we shouldn't have to suffer for their mistakes.

Do you believe the existence of switch grass is being ignored becuase of some vast jewish conspiracy?

"LOL AMERIKKKKA IS STUPAD LOLZ"
woopdi fucking hoo, all they need to know is it's more expensive and that's only when they need it
>>11
Libertarianism ? anarcho-capitalism
gb2 Das Kapital camp
>>13
Because assassinating an american president and price controls will make the world a better place? America is spending enormous sums on homeland security as it is, if anything slips through the net expect them to believe the terrorist threat is greater than they originally believed and go batshit nuts.
>>14
That's right.
