Incorrect. Because grain is a commodity market, higher prices abroad drive higher domestic prices as well -- same as the oil markets. So our self-sufficiency doesn't enter into it. And so far as Biden's "wasteful spending" goes, you seem ignorant of the fact that every single spending bill passed by Congress must start first in the House of Representatives, which is -- in case you're unaware of this fact as well -- controlled by the Republicans. Do you have any more misconceptions that need to be cleared up? I'll be around for another hour or so.
In the meantime, you still haven't answered these questions. What are you hiding?
