Finance Overhaul Casts Shadow on Plains - WSJ.com

Interesting way to stall our economy further. E85 raises cost of corn and gasoline.

Farmers are getting hit again. How much of this can we take?

"Derivatives are financial instruments whose value "derives" from something else, such as interest rates or heating-oil prices. The first derivatives were crop futures, which appeared in the U.S. at the end of the Civil War and became a standard facet of business for companies across America."

Strange how they blame our financial problems on something that has been around for so long. Then again Fanny and Freddie are not addressed at all.

When it comes to the Gooberment and We the People they are Nymphos, and they wont stop until we cut off their means of doing it to us.
