You Want Some Hogs? No? Too Bad!

The country is in a Depression. People are buying less pork. Farmers are still raising lots of pigs. Price of pork is through the floor.

The obvious solution: Steal money from taxpayers (read: YOU) at gunpoint and buy hogs, then not feed them to anyone. You know, to keep the price artificially high. That would be, instead of (as in a capitalist society) letting the weaker hog farms die off, and the remaining farms sell pork for whatever they can get for it.

Captialism means you can succeed OR fail. Of course, with the current crop of communists in the capitol, you wouldn't expect them to care about the latter, only the former.

Not that anybody cares, but wild (feral) hogs are actually considered a shoot-on-sight PEST in large swaths of the American heartland. They are breeding in the wild in such numbers as to make farming profitable crops difficult, because they destroy whole fields of (e.g.) corn in no time flat.

We have too many pigs, political, feral, and farm-raised, in America. It is time for the price to fall.

P.S. if anybody in or around the Central Texas region needs someone to come shoot at some hogs, email me at the address at the bottom of this page.
