5. Yep, they always do.

Even though we have saved their asses over and over from the effects of republican policies. But they won't spit on us.

3. And with Corn,Soybeans and wheat

prices sliding the limits each trading session,more and more of these cheap grains will find a way into the Meat Growing Business. Seen this cycle before several times since the Fifties.

Things to watch for,first,Kroger Corp is suing their Poultry Supplier and Source for price rigging in order to prop up the Wholesale Chicken Market.

Wholesale Price rigging has been going on for quite awhile in the Beef Industry also. And the Range Beef is now starting to work it's way into the Finish Lots and in six weeks,there will be a mega glut of Beef hitting the Slaughter Houses. Plus there will be Thousands of Dairy Animals going to Slaughter at the same time.

And all this product will be dumped on the market with in six months,only thing that prevent it is if,the GOP pays the Cold Storage Industry a stipend to store this stuff in order to prevent a market collapse.

Just the tip of the Isolationist nightmare to come.

6. There is a glut of everything

very odd economy. leftover from last year, surely, they can't move it. Every retailer seems to eventually try to sell food items - impulse purchases - near the checkout. Hungry? Here it is!
