Is a gov. managed economy giving us $465.00 a pound butter and $16.00 a gal. biofuel in our future?

Over the Past few days a few stories arriving on the internet have combined to give us a look at the “ghost of socialist America future.”

A Rasmussen poll told us that 26% of adults in this country believe the government, (read Obama Administration) should manage our economy. Surprisingly just 23% say government should stay away from our economy and let it run itself.

A story from Norway connects to this sad state of affairs. It tells of how the European Union which runs EVERYTHING in Europe not just the economy, with its centrally planned economy, has strangled the farming industry in Norway so thoroughly that the price of a simple pound of butter has soared to 350 euros or about $465.00! Of course the official explanation is “Don’t blame us there was too much rain this summer which cut the growth of cow feed and dairy farm production,” (Just as it would happen in a free market economy – I’m sure!)

People have started to smuggle butter in from Russia! Russia – is now a better place to farm than Europe?

The third peek at the future Obama is pulling us toward is one about the Navy. To perpetuate the lie that biofuel is a viable alternative to actual fuel, there has to be some sales of the stuff in large quantities. Suspiciously the good folks over at the Department of Agriculture just happened to have 450,000 gallons of biofuel they could sell to the Navy at a “nice” price. The price wasn’t “nice” for us the tax payers but hey “it’s not our money” as the civil service mantra goes. The biofuel was sold to the Navy by the Department of Agriculture for $16.00 a gallon!
