Man, the U.S. government keeps doing things wrong. No wonder we are about to get hit hard ecnomically.

Nothing more complex than the price of fuel. Costs born by the farmer to plant and harvest, then the cost of transport to market, then a nice healthy dose of greed. What should have been a 15% increase in food prices due to fuel cost increases gets blown out of proportion in a market ripe for profits on futures wagering.

LOL. He does look freaky sometimes but he is one of the only people with enough courage to tell it like it is.Like chop off the heads of the Bankers. Biofeuls ruins your engine and there is no crude shortage. Oil is not a fossil.

I respect Mr Keiser but I do not see how one minute we are told the problem is we do not produce anything anymore then we are told we should sell our agriculture business to africa. We would have no industry, no agriculture, we would be in even more a problem. What about our food security. Africa should subsidise their food industry. :
