    Yes, let them eat cake, right Madame Antoinette?

    (note, there is some speculation Marie Antoinette never even said this).

  3. What sort of fucked up mind goes around searching and clipping stupid and arcane stuff like this just so they can have it at the ready to fire back as a retort on an internet forum?

    btw: Funny how liberals think the law of thermodynamics can be endlessly tweaked to provide never ending conservation of energy . It's like they believe in a cost free perpetual motion machine. Combine this stupidity with the corresponding opposite belief that raising costs & taxes in % terms will blithely have no effect upon their environment.
    Doesn't this belief system remind you of a 5 yo will still believes in the tooth fairy?

    nevertheless we see that attitude ubiquitously in all their policies from AGW to Zero tolerance for pop tarts in the shape of a gun.

    The point is, there has been "terrible" food inflation for 150 years and we not only survived it, we became the greatest nation on earth.

  6. We became the greatest nation on earth because of our personal freedoms which augmented our productivity.
    Terrible Inflation played no role in aiding us in ANY endeavor YA DIPSHIT.

    this is the first time in a while his graphs make a real argument, if they are accurate.

    grain stocks are lower even though production is up, so we can surmise greater un met demand ergo food prices are higher.
