The nitwits ruining America and not letting us become energy independent are to blame for all of this robbery.
We MUST run these fools out of office in 2012.
I know what you mean. Some years back when Pepsi became the number one soft drink you couldn’t find a single 12oz. can of it in any 7-11 or Wawa. All you could get was the 16oz. size for a $1.20. Marketing ploys!
Is the Fed responsible for eclipses, too?
What about earthquakes?

Your post came up as a Red X. I took the right click properties http, and loaded it in the address bar and it came up!!
Nice job!!!!!
Thanks for sharing.
“I am very thankful that I picked up a young bull calf and put him onto pasture...he will be my beef in the fall.”
It would take me forever to eat a whole cow, but the convenience must be nice. My extended family used to buy a side of beef every year or so, if I recall correctly, but not so much in my house. I enjoy a good steak every now and then, but it’s getting priced out of a lot of people’s price ranges.
“I beleive I heard that the total “beef herd” in America is at its lowest number since in the 1970s.”
Wow, I hadn’t heard, but it doesn’t surprise me. Good to hear there’s more corroborating dialog, I’ll have to find numbers somewhere. Cows in this area are out to pasture, but they are generally dairy cows, so they don’t have the lifecycle of the midwest beef cattle, thankfully for them. Grass fed cows, if I heard correctly have fewer problems with infection and disease. That’s a plus for everyone, if true!
You are right, but we've got to add to this list one half of Americans that like socialism and voted in all those Dem representatives. Let's see the average truck holds 200 gals of diesel. If the price on diesel goes from $3/gal to $4/gal that's an extra $200 per load. If the load is 40,000 lbs that's an extra .5 cents per pound.
This calculation erroneously assumes that only one tank of gas is spent on hauling goods. Just think of a run from California to Boston. How many 200gl tanks will the truck consume?
I have understood what was a stake for about 2 years. Since the first introduction of HR2748 in the House. When it passed I went into shock, at that point it was a Commie Dictators wet dream. What passed the Senate and later reintroduced in the House and passed was not nearly as bad, but still an absolute horror.
I have posted the votes on this piece of steaming crap legislation at ever step in the process until it was signed into law.
Had several contacts with my Congressman and Senators.
The House and Senate know full well what the consequences are but have been bought off by the Globalist who want control and Global Ag who want to finish off all the private food production in the U.S.
Actions have consequences. And this one is a biggie.
It is impossible to explain this to the public in a form that they can understand what is happening. And the MSM has totally refused to discuss this act of treason.
We have our work cut out for us.
Well, not exactly;
you need to add the fuel used in farming, fuel used to move food to processors, fuel used to power the grid, then add transport costs to that.
Its a price increase at every stage of production not just transport.
Nice analysis though, good first step on how to nail this down.
That's the excuse the Soviets always used, and the Norks have used for forty years. Amazing how the only places that get "bad weather" are socialist sh*thholes.
Can you put a pair of Bozo the Clown shoes on that picture?
I thought the same thing - no meat but she is buying cake and ice cream. Probably has a 50” HD TV too. 3-4% inflation is nothing compared to life in the 70s. But we are only two years into the Jimmy Carter II administration.
The 3-4% inflation rate in food is a pure lie.
Let's see: (59.85 - 50.74) / 50.74 = 0.1795.
Maybe it's because I haven't been to the latest union run schools, but in my book that's an 18% increase - NOT 3-4%. I guess when you use libtard math things don't seem so bad.
The final bill was not HR2748 that was the original bill in the House.
The final bill was HR2751.
The House and Senate have been playing “hide the pea” with this bill since it arrived in the Senate. Then they did not want to be identified as voting for it so they passed it in the Senate at 10:00 PM by voice vote. Then they realized since it was an appropriations bill it had to originate in the house. The bill (S.510 at that point) was sent back to the House where it was read into an unrelated bill, HR2751, where it replace the entire text of the original HR2751 with the text of S.510. That Bill, HR2751 was passed by the House and sent to the Senate for the final vote and signed into law by the “resident” of 1600 Penn. Ave.
I will find and post a summary of the bill for you.
Both the House and the Senate want to hide this from public scrutiny. Both Dem & Pubbies. All who voted for HR2751 are traitors....and have sold the U.S. citizens out. And turned our entire food supply system (private production) over to FDA regulation.
You will learn to hate them for this.
“I feel like I am getting fleeced and taken advantage of. I don’t buy meat anymore. I can’t. It’s too expensive.”
But she has enough money to throw a party and buy soda, cake, and ice cream?
They are still playing games with the bill as far as where the final text is hidden.
Here is where it resides.
Go To:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.2751:
At the bottom of the page will be listed H.R.2751.ENR
That is the final bill passed and what was signed into law.

But I defy you to find the text of the public law.
Signed by President. 1/4/2011:
Became Public Law No: 111-353.
but when I searched for the Public law on Thomas here is what I found:
this is where the public law should reside, but this is the message you get when you use the link.

“Public Laws”
“You are requesting a file from the Government Printing Office Web Site.”
“If the bill text is not yet available, you may receive an error message.”
“If you get that message, you can see the text of the Enrolled bill by returning to the page you just left, then scroll to the result in which you are interested and select the Text of Legislation link. The Enrolled bill is the text passed by the House and Senate.”

So the conclusion is, we have a public law for which we do not yet have a text. (neither .txt or .pdf versions) It that amazing? I suspect that the FDA is still finalizing the text of the law, but it is already signed into law by the “resident”.

Is this still the United States of America???
Remind me not to shake hands with you.
