Pumps' Perplexities

Well it is starting to happen......But not in America yet.......

With the addition of ethanol to our gasoline, which is made
from corn, the price of corn has gone up on the "grain
market" exchanges.......

The first thing, this increase in prices has, effected is the
price of the simple Mexican tortilla......And yes in Mexico......

With the demand for corn all the speculators are beginning
to find a way to make more money.......In the US everyone
is blaming the gasoline companies.....In Mexico everyone
is blaming the tortilla manufacturers........

If a tortilla is a staple in Mexico, than corn is a staple
in the US for our cattle, etc......While we will be happy about
our price of gasoline, I doubt if there will be any complaint
about the raise in beef and Corn Flakes...... Pumps
