Enough Is More Than Enough!!Feb 06, 2012
By Ernest D. Cossiboom
The produce growers and dairy and cattle farmers seem to think working-class Americans are a bottemless pit of money. Now that the "one-percent" are trading on gasoline, a commodity that they know we must have to get to work, the farmers are using increased production prices as an excuse to double prices on their own commodities. I find it really difficult to believe that so many of these big farmers were so close to going broke. My company has had a salary freeze for the last five years, and knocked me to part-time last year. This year, I am unemployed, and still I have to face higher and higher prices on the things that I need. I used to enjoy eating an apple every day, and, up until a couple of years ago, had done so for the past thirty years with very few days missed. I also used to enjoy a couple of eggs for breakfast almost every day, and wash them down with what added up to a gallon of milk every couple of days. Since prices took off for the sky, I only buy apples in the fall when local farmers bring them in for Halloween, a gallon of milk lasts me more than a week or until I have to throw it out, and I only use eggs for things like cooking and casseroles. As for meat,where ham hocks and stew meat cost about what steaks did a few years ago, I buy sparingly and stretch everything in every way imaginable. I buy calcium-enriched orange juice when the prices are reasonable, or just do without. I eat cheap canned fruit in natural juices to satisfy my appetite for fruit. Believe me, I have just as much compassion for produce growers and cattle farmers as they have for me; in other words, I don't care if they and their stock holders starve. I am certainly not a bottomless pit of money, and I am willing and perfectly capable of finding options, especially when American greed forces me to it. I wish more people could do the same so that these owner/investors could no longer hold us hostage to things like eggs and apples. We all celebrated when the Russian economy collapsed, but I think the idea that capitalism will "eat itself" is still a valid concern. At current prices, it can start with the apples and milk that I will continue to leave rotting on the shelves until prices are more reasonable.
