Is the gov't. still subsidizing milk production? How about wool? They
started "protecting" wool between the world wars IIRC, when they decided
wool for military uniforms was a strategic material whose production had to
be protected. Now, of course, there are synthetic products that do the same
thing. As recently as the 90s people were paid to raise sheep. One of the
big news anchors (Peter Jennings perhaps) owned land in NM I think where he
(his people) raised sheep and was paid a hefty fee every year. IIRC it was
over $150K per year.
Happy New Year!!

Here the cheap milk is over $4 per gallon.

Milk is still priced (in New England especially) below the cost of
production. Cheese of course is tied to the price of milk. Besides which
its gone up to what? Here regular cheap brand milk is around $2.50 a
gallon, thats up maybe 100% since I started college 15 years ago when gas
was $1/gal and gold was $300/oz.
Basically what I said before milk and cheese haven't risen crazy (I don't
pay much attention to bread) its just that you were conditioned to prices
that were way too low to begin with.

Milk has gone WAY up, bread has gone WAY up, cheese has gone WAY up.
Seems like all the staples have gone WAY up but you can still buy pop
and all that crap for about the same price I guess.
