-long snip-

But I could have saved my breath, because a report by Bloomberg.com is that "Food Prices Will Rise, Causing Export Bans, Riots". The article starts right out with scaring the living hell out of me by saying, "Food prices will rise next year, prompting a revival of protectionism from food-growing nations and risking a renewed bout of rioting, according to Jochen Hitzfeld, an analyst at UniCredit SpA in Munich".

But if this "food prices causing riots" is even partially true, then things are REALLY going to get bad, as already the Washington Post is reporting that "Fueled by rising unemployment and food prices, the number of Americans on food stamps is poised to exceed 30 million for the first time this month", which will be "the most food stamps recipients in the history of our country."

2. When the wall street commodity investors make food so expensive......

we won't be able to buy it, you can bet a riot will occur. The scumbag investors will literally take the food out of your mouth to maintain and preserve their wealth.

3. Ah, the real reason behind FISA...starving rioters will be "domestic terrorists"

and be subject to imprisonment without due process.

6. At least in Gitmo 'we' might get three (3) squares a day and a roof over 'our' heads.......

which will make 'us' much better off than those former members of the middle class which are homeless, jobless, starving and living in their cars.

7. yes, wasn't it snake cheney that told us of the marvelous meals the

prisoners had?

[Double T]

10. Yep. The same jerk that told 'us' what a great future 'we' all had selling.......

on eBay; these idiots are completely out of touch with reality!

8. It won't be the US that will have rioters,it will be caused by food

producing countries(of which we are one) cutting off supply to countries that rely on imports for food supplies,like Japan.The US would have no problem producing enough food for domestic consumption.

9. a very wise and compassionate DUer once told me

that when the common man begins to see his children hungry he will knock down the walls and take what he needs

11. Our shortages will be caused by greed

we'll just be priced out of an ear of corn.

Especially, with the wage destruction. My buying power and actual income is crashing faster than Mount Everest would if dropped from space and its happening everywhere.
