Milk costs more per gallon even now, and milk is not a finite
commodity. The milk industry is the OPEC of beverages, but I believe
they have been forever, so the price was probably just as inflated in
1950 as it is today.

Exxon set a new business world record, $10,000,000 profit in a single
quarter.
Doubt the milk board comes close to that and it's a little harder
producing milk, so I don't mind funding the farmers.

And you have a problem with free enterprise?


Funny, I still make the same $10/hr as I did ten years ago, but my
housing, fuel, food & other basic costs have tripled. I thought I was
doing well just to keep off the welfare role & not be a burden to society,
guess I'm just a loser that the government thinks they can bully around
because they've made it a law to earn less than $600/wk.

You can blame a part of that on the overabundance of ready labor ready to
work for less.
Too many workers means employers will be offering less because they know
someone will take the job. That's what business is; what it isn't is
philanthropic.

Just heard on the radio today that the nations unemployment rate is 4.7
percent.
215,000 new jobs were created last month, this country needs workers!

BTW, Canada doesn't have the illegal immigration problem, but general labor
is still the same rate as it was 10 years ago as well.

Wake up and smell the Salsa, the immigration issue is only a diversion from
the real problem. The war in Iraq should have everyone's full attention
because the cost of that is staggering with no end in sight and that far
outweighs any welfare or benefits any illegal might be receiving.
