OPEC sells oil for $136.00 a barrel.

OPEC nations buy U.S. grain at $7.00 a bushel.

Solution: Sell grain for $136.00 a bushel.

Can't buy it? Tough!
Eat your oil!

Ought to go well with a nice thick grilled filet of camel azz!!!

the funny (or sad) part is, there are already food riots going on in the middle east over grain prices. In some locals they have gone up by over 500%.
I think the rag heads are starting to learn that they may get more cash for their oil but they will pay more for everything else.

Great idea! Problem is our government doesnt want to put the screws to them. Im sure there are LOTS of ways to bring the price of oil down, but they dont want to "interfere" or "help us out" which is probably best. They just screw everything up worse anyway.
