THIS IS A WASTE OF MONEY DURING A BUDGET CRISIS....WE DON'T NEED SUGAR IN OUR DIETS. IF WE WANT IT, WE SHOULD PAY FOR IT THEN, BY PAYING HIGHER PRICES AT THE SUPERMARKET...NOT FROM OUR TAXES!!!
Why is this important?
2013-GOV'T WANT TO BUY 400,000 TONS OF SUGAR, TO BAILOUT COMPANIES THAT OWE LOANS TO THE GOV'T. SUGAR COMPANIES HAVE BORROWED $862MILLION FROM THE USDA!!
1. HEALTHCARE CRISIS ALREADY IN AMERICA, OBESITY ON THE RISE. MEDICAL CARE CAUSES ARE #1 CAUSE OF THE DEFICIT.
2. LET THE FREE MARKET BE THE FREE MARKET, IF SUGAR PRICES ARE MEANT TO FALL, LET THEM FALL. IF PEOPLE HAVE TO PAY MORE FOR CANDY, MAYBE THEY'LL EAT FRUIT INSTEAD!!
