I don't think you'll have to ask some country for permission to turn up your thermostat, you'll just continue to need the dough to pay the bills for the choices you make.
Free markets rock, right?
Yes, free markets do rock. Unfortunately the agricultural market in the United States
IS NOT a free market.
Congress is also currently passing a bill that will make that even worse.
Since the fall of the Soviet Union, free market capitalism has raised the standard of living for the largest amount of humanity in the shortest period of time. That should be something to be celebrated. It's one of the biggest milestones in all of human history.
Instead we get nothing but left wing propaganda like free markets are bad and this country is somehow bad and we need to feel guilty about something. There is nothing we need to feel guilty about. That free market capitalism has raised much of humanity from the despair of less than a generation ago.
Yet anti-freedom, anti-growth, and quasi-socialist hacks like Obama want to turn the clock back on the very free market capitalism that has recently been one of mankind's biggest triumphs.
