USAID Forced to Make Drastic Cutbacks in Food Supplies to Starving Peoples so Progressive Environmentalist Douchebags Can Feel Good About Themselves

Small brewers were just the tip of the iceberg.  The price of grain has skyrocketed because huge amounts of it are going into the money sink and farce known as ethanol production.  USAID, which many of the world's poorest people rely on for sustenance is having to cut back on the number of countries and people they give food aid to as a result of a 41% spike in grain costs.  USAID is projected to go $200 million overbudget already, but they aren't even going to be able to get as much done as they did in the past.

This story doesn't cite ethanol production as the reason for the price spike, but we know that's what it is, because that was cited as a reason for spikes in operating costs for small brewers in the US, its the same commodity.  But hey, out there somewhere, some progressive environmentalist is feeling great about doing their part to fight Global Warming.
