Say Anything, Promise Anything

"OK so let me just make sure I have this (I'm kinda dense sometimes for a smart person...), the government's interference here sent hog prices to a one-week high which means I, as a consumer, am going to then have to pay for that through HIGHER PORK CHOP PRICES later?"

Stop your belly aching Jr. and get with the program.

But rest assured that we've been here before only in the reverse order where the gub'mint paid farmers to stop production.... but they already do that via the conservation reserve program....

"The AAA evened the balance of supply and demand for farm commodities so that prices would support a decent purchasing power for farmers. This concept was known as "parity." AAA controlled the supply of seven "basic crops" — corn, wheat, cotton, rice, peanuts, tobacco, and milk — by offering payments to farmers in return for farmers not planting those crops. The AAA also became involved in assisting farmers ruined by the advent of the Dust Bowl in 1934. In 1936 the Supreme Court, ruling in United States v. Butler, declared the AAA unconstitutional. Writing for the majority, Justice Owen Roberts stated that by regulating agriculture, the federal government was invading areas of jurisdiction reserved by the constitution to the states, and thus violated the Tenth Amendment. Judge Harlan Stone responded for the minority that, "Courts are not the only agency of government that must be assumed to have capacity to govern."   Elected!!!! I wanna be elected!!!!!! Respected!!!!!!
