Is The Dairy Cliff Part Of Barack Obama's Plot To Keep The White Race Down?


As you may have heard, part of the fiscal cliff pileup is that in the absence of a new farm bill we're facing a "dairy cliff" in which the farm subsidy scheme will revert to a 1949 law establishing a minimum price for dairy products and likely leading to a near-doubling of milk prices. As an American with limited tolerance for lactose, I wasn't so concerned about this. But Erik Loomis offers some remarks from Herbert Hoover that casts the whole affair in a more nefarious light.


From the June 1922 edition of Dairy World:

In its broad aspects, the proper feeding of children revolves around a public recognition of the interdependence of the human animal upon his cattle. The white race cannot survive without dairy products.

Dinesh D'Souza warned us.

But seriously, I have no problem with lactose intolerance (and I do my best on other forms as well), and milk is my favorite thing in the world to drink so I hope we don't go off the 'Dairy Cliff'.

Just introduce more dairy cows and that will bring the demand and price down to where people will buy milk again. Ask a capitalist how that works.
