Cartoon of the Week

Quote of the day: "Food prices increase because of government-sponsored ethanol—the magic fuel elixir... One quarter of the nation's corn production will be diverted from livestock feed to unenergetic ethanol this year. In March, corn increased to $3.20 from $2.00 a bushel last year. The cost of feeding chickens, our most popular meat, is up 40%. This expensive and poor substitute for energy-rich gasoline is heavily subsidized with our taxes (51 cents per gallon of ethanol), diverting resources by political decisions rather than through market efficiencies."
