re: #321 freetoken

Perhaps, but I doubt that Obama or the GOP candidate will want to broach the issue. The GOP candidates will give the usual affirmations in the Iowa caucuses, I expect.

However, Congress won’t be able to ignore the issues. Rising food prices and rising energy prices will stir up the constituencies, I’m expecting, and a grander bargain might have to be struck with the corn state senators.

It’ll be interesting to see what Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk do here in Illinois. People think mostly of Chicago when they think of Illinois, but this state actually produces more corn than any other state save Iowa. Even our larger urban gardens in Chicago grow corn.
