It’s All OMEC’s Fault

According to news reports, more than one commodity has reached record price levels: milk. Yes, a gallon of milk in the New York area is now $4.43/gallon- more than twice the price of a gallon of gasoline.

Now to the neocons among us, the solution is obvious: find the country most responsible for the export of milk, and invade it. Sure, the vegans will scream “no blood for milk,” but what do they know?

Then again- there is just one little hole in that strategy- we’d be invading Wisconsin. At least it's the same shape as Iraq.

But hey, look the bright side- other countries may export the oil, but we’ve got a product that’s twice as valuable per gallon: milk. So suck on that, Saudis!

I am curious if you know what the price paid to the dairy farmers has done over the same period of time? My cousin is a small dairy farmer in Alabama (one of the few left) and after they had a price cut earlier this year, they had a nickle a gallon rise. This "spike" doesn't account for the price hike that we have seen in stores. Other factors at work and I wish I knew what they were . . .
Wonder if its the same for gas...
