.......to get corn and soybeans to rally? Drought, flood, planting delays, or acurate numbers on the grain supply?
Whatever it takes.......I for one, am ready. 
I was on a parts run and stopped at Algona to get a bite at their Long John Silverfish and it`s next to a K-Mart that are getting rare as hens teeth these days. They had a sign up "Hiring $8.50/hr", now here is the predicament, at $8.50 one hours of buys about .7lb Ribeye, if the minimum wage was raised to $10, that K-Mart would close it`s doors just like the one in Mason City did.
10 years ago the Mason City K-Mart was busy, on weekend you couldn`t park anywhere near the entrance..but they closed their doors about a year ago, now the building sits empty. K-Mart is hooked up with Sears, 10 years ago they were crazy busy, the employees hassled you the minute you came in the door. Now, I hate to say it but they are like a tomb, you could probably drive up to the entrance doors and park on the sidewalk and nobody would complain, they are the `unburied dead`.
Back to my Algona story, there`s a McDonalds by that k-Mart and I saw 80 yr old Senator Chuck Grassley briskly walking in and at a harried pace was his aid with a laptop and a mess of papers about 5 steps behind.
I had this epiphany, since we have this Keynesian tiger by the tail and the fed has no qualms of printing $1 Trillion a year in new money, now instead of proping up the Dow and Nasdaq. Why not hire 1 million of the unemployed with a $30,000 salary just to go around the country breaking windows. More money could be printed and unemployed could be hired to sweep up the broken glass and manufacture new glass and yahoos could be hired to replace the broken windows. It seems like we need some inflation to keep this thing going and $8.50/hr ain`t gonna do it.
In the 70`s we had inflation, but we still had manufacturing jobs, now it`s as though we`ve "exported our inflation"...to our detriment.
Here is Ann Barnhart ..oh man is she funny. At the begining she talks about her closed brokerage firm and Jon Corzine and MF Global. Skip to about 19:30 she really gets on a roll talking about "slack jaw, mouth breathing, psychopaths"
