McCain Global BS Ad

You can sum this up as "pay more taxes and government will pretend to control the weather".

Here is the McCain global BS ad. Can anyone explain to me how global warming causes high food prices? High oil prices? It's ethanol, government mandated ethanol, that is causing food prices to rise. It's not drilling and building new refineries that causes fuel prices to rise. Both are caused by government.

Coupling food prices to energy prices, brought on by the Energy Act of 2007, that doesn't supply one drop of energy, is a very bad idea. The coupling comes because if the food market won't pay the price asked, then the ethanol producers may. So in the end both commodities markets pay the same price for grains and corn -- Except for the subsidies that are fuelling the ethanol loser business.

A better solution ...
As an aside, this McCain ad is fear mongering for ignorant people, and illustrates how ignorant the politicians are when they speak to the people.
