Why things cost

[forsyth]

Ever wondered why the salad at a fast food joint is more expensive than the giant size combo burger and fries with a soda?



Because the government pays farmer to grow corn for feed and high fructose corn syrup, soybeans that get reconstituted into stuff that barely qualifies as food, cotton, wheat, and tobacco (?!).

It's almost enough to make one think the libertarians might not be THAT scary crazy.

No ma'am, unless that's a new internet party devoted to Steven Colbert. My positions range from the radical to the anarchist to the status quo, but if I was to be pegged anywhere, it would likely be in that chunk of territory known as "liberal".

I think I'm actually fairly conservative...
