It is fairly typical for the Bush Cru. to make these sorts of comments without actually providing any sort of reasoning as to how to deal with the situation.

They treat information disclosure like a dinner menu - you order your food and pay for it later.

edit; i wouldn't think too much of this for the time being; perhaps in a week or so this will seem more pressing.

Bush is correct in this instance.

Increased prosperity = Increased demand = increased prices.

There is nothing that can be done about it though; short of imposing tariff barriers.

Besides the fact that this moron is the president of the United States... can anyone give me one good reason to pay attention to anything he says?

The cost of everything is going up due to rising fuel prices. Add in the rising costs of fertilizers and pesticides and it's no wonder food prices are going up. Scapegoating biofuels is unproductive and not even close to the full truth.

I suppose that's the point i'm trying to make - it's easier to pay someone to do the work instead of doing it yourself, at least if you have the money.

But for the people out there who don't have the money, and because of age or disease they can't do the work, what exactly are they going to do about it?

Well, they could ask for help - of course, it's not everyday that you get some poor farmer walking up to the gates of the whitehouse and saying;

"My Crops are dying, there is no food for the cows, My son works as hard as i do and yet we can only provide enough food to keep me, my son and my mother fed for another two weeks.

Help Us George, Help us".

What would Georgey Boy do, i wonder?

Would he pick up a shovel and go toil in the fields, or would he give them a few hundred U.S Dollars?

edit; This doesn't even touch on those places to isolated to receive the aid in the first place.

The world is a nefarious place for those whom consider themselves righteous in every aspect, but when faced with the temptation of sloth they give in every time.

It is the government's preferred solution, but it only highlights how ignorant they can be if they keep doing the same thing over and over again.

I mean, how much money has been spent on aid in the past?

Millions?

Billions?

Trillion(s)?

It will take all that and more in order to set the problem straight, and yet no one who has the power seems to notice that all they're doing is putting money into a grinder.

Oh God forbid that the Indians or anyone else for that matter would want a better life. Only Americans deserve that!!!

hmmmm, so india had bad food before?

everytime I go to india I eat the highest quality food i've ever had

and im not talking about only our superior cuisine, im talking about food

go to the grocery store here, you'll see shiny apples, shiny this and shiny that

go apple picking, do u see apples all shiny? NO

In india they just wash all the food really well and we eat it, there's no need to use chemicals to make it all shiny

you drive around and there's people with huge amounts of vegetables, fruits, sometimes flour or rice or this or that, people selling it on the curve where you make u-turns, drive anywhere you will see these people every few 20 yards or so.

every morning you wake up early early by people screaming outside.. Carrotssss, Milkkkkkkk, watermelonnnnn... this or that!
Everything, 30 sellers within a maybe 1 mile radius with massive selections.

There is no lack of food in india, if anything there's an excess

We always had and always will have better food than you!

Bush is a liarrrrrrr

I think you saying rite but issue is BUSH blame India about its requirement and india and china influence and he try to hide his failer
