tw, re: food subsidies Well there are lots of poor hungry folks including kids who would be hurt in a doubling of food prices. Why don't we just shoot and kill off all the poor americans and eliminate subsidies. That way we could have a bigger tax cut for the rich and even eliminate capital gains for "everybody". regards, Kash

OT RE: Food prices The EEC will never rely on overseas food production. The common memory of WW2, where people had to plant food in parks and gardens and a lot of people where starving will not go away that easy. I agree, it's mainly a psychological issue, but it is there. I'm not a big fan of subsiding the farmers. It looks rather stupid to me to have very low food commodity prices and then subsidise the farmers. If food prices were higher, the farmers should have a decent income and we should not pay for it through taxes. Bert
