We don't need to ration the government. We just need to make sure those crooks spend the money on us instead of war profiteering contracts in Iraq.

Charity begins at home. Bush ought to try it for a change.

When was the last time Bush ever requested Congress for billions of dollars to spend here at home strictly for the benefit of American citizens? Never.

Bush wants $770M in food crisis aid.

I think this should be attached to a bill revamping our ethanol policy, otherwise it should be blocked. If we send food to poor nations and but continue our insane ethanol policy, we will have to send more food aid in the future.

(But then again, no where in the Constitution is the Fed Gov authorized to send foreign aid of any kind).

US stores forced to ration rice

Asa Wahlquist | April 25, 2008

THE panic over global food shortages and rising prices gripping developing nations has spread to the world's wealthiest countries, with giant US-based retailer Wal-Mart rationing rice sales.

Wal-Mart's warehouse chain Sam's Club became the second retailer in the US to limit bulk purchases of rice this week, citing "recent supply and demand trends". Earlier in the week, Seattle-based Costco Wholesale Corporation imposed limits in some stores on bulk rice purchases. "

Rationing is limiting how much people can eat, not buy.

BTW: rice is down 14% in past two weeks for July delivery.

Simple overview of world rice production, and issues it faces...fertilizer prices are an issue.

Record production in 2007/08--up less than 1
percent from a year earlier. Rice crops are up in China, Brazil,Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan, and Nigeria. Conversely, production is down in India, the Koreas, Taiwan, and Australia.

Population control is at the heart of the issue, its time to come up with solutions to this problem, or else nature will do it for us.
