Observations and Comments

-MamaO had a spudnut moment a few weeks past, and invented a new food chart. Out with the pyramid in with the circles. After spending $2 M she and her committee and consultants came up with six circles (plates). A larger white bottom plate to support four smaller multicolored and one satellite small dish for dairy products. The focus is on fruit, whole grain and veggies and less on meat and dairy products.
Seems as though there is alresdy a problem with the fruit, veggies and grain to a lessor extent, producers. The meat and dairy producers are generiously subsidized and only 1% goes to the other three producers. Cost of fruit and veggies are likely to increase...inflation WH generated. The WH can't get anthing right.
-PP the other day went to Michigan to talk to a Italian/American auto maker workers to show that if he hadn't stepped in Chrysler would of vanished and all the UAW worker would be without a job. In addition the support and service industry in the area would of closed. Later that week one of the fixture of the neighborhood noted (restrauant) noted by PP went out of business. Didn't say anthing about GM, who still owes the US taxpayers $25B or so and a second IPO cannot be issues because the stock market price is below the original IPO offer price. Can't put the auto industry in the winner columns yet. Off to NC to talk to solar cell workers who was also given stimulus $, but Sir this is a Chinese owned company and most of the fabrication is done in China.
