"We need to have a milk-tax holiday over the summer so the American people can buy more mil and so that they can elect me president in November." -- HRC

We pay 4 bucks a half gallon for Milk here. Of course I buy organic and not that pussy conventional milk. I justwished it was cheaper.

Bet this makes PETA very happy - drink beer instead!

So if drinking milk gives you gas, is it carbon neutral?

Has anyone told Bush milk is $4.00 a gallon? And, if so, did he respond by saying "interesting"?

I'm assuming my info is a little dated, but I could have sworn that milk prices were set by the government and kept relatively high in order to keep dairies afloat.

Does anyone know if minimum prices are still set by the gov?

Without the idiot posts like this, life would be so boring.

Price supports, income supports, tariffs on imports, & export subsidies combine to increase the price of milk.

Maybe Obama will demand a windfall profits tax on dairy farmers. You know, to get the prices down.

That rise in supply and drop in demand resulted in the recent price drop.

Damn, the law of supply and demand does work.

Can anybody equate this to gas? How about wages for workers? Hello!!!!

I'm sure the small family farm will benefit from this, and pigs will fly.

Wait untill Billary has us using it for fuel!

Who gives a fuck? I don't have to buy 18 gallons of milk every other week in order to get to work or other places I wish to go. Milk sucks... if it gets too expensive I won't buy it and life will go on just fine.

Hay rob, take the bus. If you only burn 9 galons of fuel a week you don't have far to drive. You are way below average, but I knew that.

$4 a gallon?
Rob,
I think I know how you can pay off those medical school loans quicker! Get me a bucket, a digital camera, and your wife's fun bags ASAP.

Hay rob, take the bus

Fuck that shit... maybe if I lived in some rural town far from any large population. I work in Philly... fuck if I'm riding a bus or taking a train. Also a I have a 6 month old... I'm not exposing her to the disgust that is public transportation and then walking her and all her shit I have to drag around from bus stop to daycare.

There is only one way I would consider public transportation and that is if a new "first class" bus/subway was created that wouldn't allow the homeless, or the drug addicts on and had a security guard on every car...

You know how many gallons she's pumped out over the last six months that we've just given away to the baby!?!?! I should have a roadside stand... $2/gallon... Here I come easy street!

This just in, Bush is invading Wisconsin. He claims they have WMD (Weapons of Moo Distribution).

Cheney says we will be greeted as liberators and given flowers and chocolate (with a side of milk of course)

Wolfowitz said the invasion will be funded using the return bottles the milk comes in.

Rice said that America should be worried about mushroom clouds... in the shape of tits.

Powell is going before the UN with a vial of a white liquid this time.

Rumsfeld says you go to the dairy store with the milkman you have not the milkman you wish you had.

I checked the other day, a 24 pack of 12 ozs bottles was going for $3.00 which is a real steal because it was on sale. By the time you get the sales tax on it is about $1.50 a gal.

My wife is an MD... and Milk does suck.

Rob's right. If you were a doctor you would know that. Cow's milk is for....cows.

People who feed their kids powdered milk or worse, cow's milk, should be shot.

*ALL* cow's milk (regular and 'organic') has 59 active hormones, scores of allergens, fat and cholesterol.

Most cow's milk has measurable quantities of herbicides, pesticides, dioxins (up to 200 times the safe levels), up to 52 powerful antibiotics (perhaps 53, with LS-50), blood, pus, feces, bacteria and viruses. (Cow's milk can have traces of anything the cow ate... including such things as radioactive fallout from nuke testing ... (the 50's strontium-90 problem).

That damn Bush has control over everything. I'll bet he has friends high in the milk industry as well at the oil busness. With bottled water being so high I'll bet he has buddies there too.

I bought a reverse osmosis filter on ebay last month for $140. Best money I have ever spent. My water taste great now, used to taste like bleach. Tried a Pepsi challenge with tap water. It seemed clear to the naked eye, but when compared to the R/O water it took the color of this web page.

Actually, the dairy farmers ARE in fact subsidized by the federal Government. Check the farm bills in Congress. As a matter of fact, big govmnt subsidizes dairy farmers, peanut farmers, cotton farmers and the ethanol industry to JUST name a few. This being so, the prices we pay for these products are below what we would actually pay if these subsidies were removed so once more we have a false economy being foisted on the consumer. Amazing!!!

Yes, milk is over $4.00 per gallon where I live. Wal mart, Costco, and other grocery chains have upped their prices once more.

$4 a gallon for MILK?

Damned Arabs-it ain't enough they're fucking us over on oil prices-they actually control our COWS too???
WTF?

Keep your woman lactating. In addition to being better nutritionally for humans, and more readily digestible, her milk comes in such cute containers.

I wonder how much higher

$4/Gallon it'll have to get before we invade California?

How's your diabetic quarterback doing? hahahaha... he can't eat carmel!

He is doing fair I guess. His dietary necessities are pale compared to our mooselamb safety, who during the season observes Ramadan, losses weight, and has no energy during the day.

Unbelievable huh?

Both of you are such blind apologists that you can't see that Bush's Quagmire in the ME has oil prices 6 times higher than when he took office and EVERYTHING now cost more because of it.

Oh wait, let me guess. It's Clintons fault?

You only make yourself look simple when you make the comments you do. You could have just read the article.

"The ... only ... way I would consider public transportation ... is if a new 'first class' bus/subway was created that wouldn't allow homeless or drug addicts on."

You know, it wasn't too long ago that the yapping peke was merely a wise ass. But now that his wife has completed her medical studies and will let him live how he always wanted to live, he has become what his people call an elitist. herm

Public Transportation, similar to watching a Jerry Springer episode, makes me feel good about myself and shows me that the extra effort in life is worth it.

My late dad use to say that the price of a gallon of gas, a gallon of milk, and a pack of cigs were about the same. Looks like 4 bucks is in the cards.

Right now, inflation is rampant. For years nobody had pricing power, now companies are raising prices 2-3 times in 6 months. It's out of control, and for now headed higher...across the board.

Darn Big Milk!!

But now that his wife has completed her medical studies and will let him live how he always wanted to live

Whoa... when the fuck did this happen? She's finished? Why the fuck didn't she tell me?

I don't give a shit. I'm still all for biodiesel and ethanol in the gasoline. Can't wait for the E85 to become available in NJ.

I'm going to Ralph's Grocery Store where I always shop in about 1/2 an hour. They charge $3.99 per gallon of whole milk. If you buy two gallons then Ralph's gives you a discount and charges you $6.28 for buying two gallons at once.

It just gets higher and higher, the food keeps getting higher along with everything else. The sky high cost of fuel to bring this stuff to the grocery store really adds to the cost.

Of all places -- just heard on Bill O'Reilly's radio show this morning that the U.S. oil companies have had a 1000% increase in their profits during the last five years (under Bush). Before Bush oil company profits were about 20% profit and O'Reilly said that was okay -- but not 1000% profit!

However now even O'Reilly, a staunch Bush loyalist, said the oil companies should start to pay a windfall profit tax. O'Reilly said their 1000% increase in profits are obscene.

When a caller phoned in to say "what's wrong with people like the oil companies wanting to make a profit if they can" O'Reilly -- to my surprise -- said the oil companies are hurting our country and and our citizens. He said there comes a time when a curtailing to out of control profit at the expense of the people of their own country has to be made and they should be made to pay a windfall profit tax.

If the oil companies' facilities ever got attacked by a foreign enemy it would be OUR U.S. military (funded by OUR U.S. tax money) who would be there getting their butts out of trouble so why should the oil companies get to screw over the American people. They want the benefits of being protected by the U.S. government but could care less their greed for obscene profit are really hurting the people of this country.

I agreed with Bill O'Reilly -- guess it must be bad if he's going against Bush and big oil.

Now I'm going to the store and pay an arm and a leg for a stinking gallon of milk.

I just hop the fence and suck the cow. No problem here.

May hit $4? It's already more than that here in Northern California. Same reason that gas is around $4.20, no doubt. Lack of refineries...

... I'm not exposing her to the disgust that is public transportation and then walking her and all her shit I have to drag around from bus stop to daycare.

I can understand Rob's point of view. When we were younger, my wife and I could only afford one car. As such, I had to use the public transportation system to get to and from work. It opened my eyes to the human debris that inhabits these vehicles. I would say "stinky" and "smelly" would be appropriate adjectives, and sometimes "scary". Thank God I will never again need to use public transportation.

I'm in St Croix for 2 weeks. My husband is down here working for almost a year. We went to the grocery store yesterday and I almost fell over. A half gallon of milk was $5.69, a loaf of bread was almost $5.00 and a box of Frosted Flakes was $6.99. I went to the meat counter just for laughs, a T-bone steak was $24.99 a pound.

Fuck that, I hate doctors...

My wife is an MD...

Very interesting.

Do you now or have you ever lived near a major city? His description of the types of people frequently seen using public transportation was spot on. I would have also added, "Bat shit crazy."

If the Oil Companies made a 1000% increase in profit, how much more in taxes did the Federal Gov't collect on the 1000% profit?

Didn't the gov't already take their share of the profits?

Obscene is a personal point of view. So is what Congress will spend the increased tax revenue on.

How about this? The increased federal tax revenue on the increased profit will go towards energy research? How about directly to the National Debt?
