When will it become more profitable to use corn for food again instead of cashing in on the ethanol subsidy?

We can blame the entire damned political class for this absolute nonsensical folly. Growing corn to fuel our autos is patently stupid. We fill our cars with corn while the Chinese Communists cheerfully drain our oil off the coast of Florida!
Our time has run out. What's needed now is someone close to the personna of Francisco Franco to march on Washington and overthrow these imbeciles.

And another damned thing!
Allowing our nation to be rampaged by a gaggle of unwashed, lice-ridden, disease carrying drifters is worse than criminal.
These leftist legislators hate this nation so much that they'll do anything to ruin it.

It has been going on for the last two years; it’s not just the current farm bill / food for fuel nonsense. The inflation numbers we were seeing were BS.

"...price for his Key lime pies went from $20 to $25..."
$25 for a pie?

Is it just a coincidence or could it have something to do with the fact that Republicans took over Congress in 1992(16 years ago)and controlled it until 2006?

What a lame-@$$ article. Anybody can bake a graham cracker crust in their sleep, because you don’t bake a freaking graham crackercrust. And just because you can make a list of all the bad things happening in the world, it doesn’t justify 25 dollars for a key lime pie.

How about just $20 for a pie? If people can afford $20 for a pie, I’m not ready to jump out of a tall building just yet.

I must be missing something.
My stores are generating more sales and therefore lower prices than I can remember.
Yes, it is on certain items, but who promised me out of season or prepared foods at a low price? Even those are in so many new varieties that there must be some demand at those prices...or convenience.(6.09 for raspberries, yes two weeks ago they were 2/5.00 and two weeks from now?)
Basics seem only slightly higher and it is over a 2 year period, at least.

My last key lime pie cost me about $2.50 to make. Is their pie tin gold plated?
