Economics is boring but every dog has his day

A new policy affecting food is a very delicate matter. Once the fuse is lit it is impossible to put out. In September 2007 our green energy laws were created during the rule of Bush the Younger.  The price of soy, corn and wheat doubled immediately.  The results of this policy continue to cripple the US and the world with higher food and energy prices.

The first question regarding this policy is why.  It appears to be just a political maneuver but the events since have raised a few more questions. First of all, one of the early presidential primaries was in Iowa.  Doubling your income sounds pretty good on a January day in Dubuque.  The votes rolled in and the greenies celebrated and sadly little barry won.The political cover provided by saving the world allows most anything to be approved.

The unanticipated results of the new program that began  the following January were incredible. They led to a US financial collapse nine months later, as well as a continuing world of war in the Middle East. The civil wars in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria and Bahrain became known as the “Arab Spring” through our usual propaganda system.  For primitive peoples to revolt, a huge problem  must have occurred.  The poor could not afford the new prices of grains and were starving.  A starving man has nothing to lose.

The wars have been underway for 15 years with no end in sight.  They initially were created with food and opened up the traditional tribal and religious wounds that have existed for thousands of years.  “We came we saw he died.” That was Little Hilly commenting on Ghadaffi. How quaint. It unfortunately underlines the ignorance and corruption of our leadership.  No bureaucrat had the intelligence or forethought to consider what was to happen with a political ploy created to extend power in DC. The ignorance and lack of intellectual acuity by the ruling class is frightening.  They must all be diversity hires.

If we look at the world political situation today the roadblocks created in 2008 are even larger.  Food is still the ultimate political stabilizer. Does China use soy and corn to make biodiesel and ethanol? They are more intelligent than that. In 2009 enough calories were wasted in green fuel to feed 200 million people.  It has grown to 700 million.

This creates even more pressure from the underfed destabilizing the political landscape.  China is saber rattling about Taiwan unification to distract their middle class and their hungry citizens. They can easily observe the weakness of our current regime and are taking advantage of it.

The Hamas crowd is fighting Israel and the US with Iranian weapons.  The Houthis have shut down the Suez with Iranian support.  Our system of alliances has been shown to be a hollow shell.  The lack of leadership strength by the O’biden group has terrified Europe, India and Australia.  Just a few flying yard toys have accelerated the dissolving US world order.  The lack of food destabilizes everything even more quickly.

The last item thrown into the pot is the US-Russian war.  The Ukrainian harvests were delayed or eliminated again by the money laundry created by the obama and rapidly expanded by the beltway uniparty group funding their own pensions.  They forgot about the millions of tons of fertilizer that was exported from Ukraine.  The price almost doubled adding more pressure to the poor.

Joe Biden created an extension of this terrible situation. In his first days in office he shut down oil drilling permits thus doubling the price of fuels just as in 2008.  This gave the Iranians and Saudis more money to support their proxy wars destabilizing the peace.  It also raised our inflation here.  Our citizens on fixed incomes are suffering from high fuel and food prices. Hunger is rising in the US for the first time in generations.  In the past five years the price of corn has risen from $3.76 to $4.79.  A barrel of oil has surged from $50 to $80. The middle classes will be eliminated and the lower economic classes will starve.  The aliens rushing the border are hungry.  Who can afford to feed them?

The really sad thing is that it could all be immediately fixed by Bribe ‘ems’ signature on a piece of paper.  Open the drilling permits for oil and eliminate subsidies for the climate scam that uses food for fuel and things return to the status quo of full plates.  Food insecurity has again brought us to the precipice.
