So, high food prices are stimulating?

Ummm ... What the fuck? From the Wall Street Journal:
... dairy and beef cattle producers butted heads over talk that the government might buy up dairy cattle for slaughter to drive up depressed milk prices.
So the government plans to spend money to destroy animals in order to make food more expensive for the people who will have to pay back the money that's been spent. Do I have that right?

Yes, I know this has been done before. It was a stupid idea then, too.

Where is all the outrage of how this will affect the poor? What a bunch of crap. If these idiots had their way, we would pay $5 for a gallon of gas and $6.50 for a gallon of milk.

Only if you work for a living; if you're a deadbeat you would probably get them for free.
