[Peace-discuss] Senate passes Obama/GOP tax giveaway 81-19

[E. Wayne Johnson]

Which by the way includes a 45-cent per gallon tax subsidy on production 
of ethanol from grains.

"The world is facing a hunger crisis unlike anything it has seen in more 
than 50 years.
925 million people are hungry.
Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes. That's 
one child every five seconds.

There were 1.4 billion people in extreme poverty in 2005.

The World Bank estimates that the spike in global food prices in 2008,
followed by the global economic recession in 2009
and 2010 has pushed between 100-150 million people into poverty."

It's cheaper to starve them en masse than it is to shoot them.
