The Drought

This is more or less a repeat of my post on the drought from yesterday. I reiterate that this drought is one of the major stories going on right now. If you listen to NPR you have noticed that the news stories on food prices and vegetable shortages in the USA are more common. With the price of food already beyond many people's means, one might expect that that situation will worsen, food will become pricier and more people will not be able to get it. Throw into that equation the right wing's insistence on cutting out food aid and with a possible return to a GOP Senate in 2014 you have the means for more starvation in the wealthiest country on the planet.
