Droughts spell trouble for food prices

Even if you aren't religious, pray for rain. Without it, food prices are going to skyrocket and the US will be looking at a nationwide food shortage. I only wish I were not exaggerating.

    To make matters worse, the water to the San Joaquin valley was shut down years ago because of a minnow that might be endangered thanks to "We have to pass it to find out what's in it" Nancy Pelosi. This ruined over 40,000 acres of prime farmland that has been laid waste and many thousands of migrant workers and farmers have lost their jobs and farms.

    In addition, if that's not bad enough, China is slowly draining the Great Lakes by removing water to ease their shortage of fresh water and our government is allowing it.

    Put it all together and we are being corralled and set up as lambs to a slaughter. How do we stop this????

    Much of the water that would fall in Colorado is now falling in the upper Midwest and East Coast. We are bitterly cold here and full of precipitation. Although that will help the Great Lakes, California will go up in flames. When the drought and famine is bad enough, food riots and martial law will be imposed, all part of the socialist plan to crash the economy. Then by using the Hegelian Dialectic the socialist "solution" will be introduced. Look at this for more info: http://www.infowars.com/the-hegelian-dia...

    Please don't shoot the messenger (me). Do what you will with it. Hopefully you handle it better than my better half. She covers her ears and sings "la la la la" so she doesn't have to think about.

    A large portion of LA county water does not come from California but Colorado. It is sent through huge pipes to LA for consumption.
    A significant portion of the water used for farm irrigation is run through significant distance to reach the farms.
    The situation in California was and will remain a disaster waiting to happen. It looks like it is about to happen. I truly feel sorry for all the people involved, I really do, but living on imported and borrowed water is not a good way to live.
