Business Woes after subsidized foods sold

Back to basics
Who is really the culprit here? As we all know all over the world, prices are going up and it always have a domino effect and usually, those on the top is the one not affected by it.

Oil, a non-renewable energy source, is getting scarce and that is the reason that Oil Suppliers in the middle east keeps on increasing the prices per barrel. You know why they are thinking only of themselves? it is because, if the oil zilches out, what would they do now for a living? They are just saving for their rainy days.

If oil increases, all other price will increase. This is the medium on how they transport goods. Food cost will increase, labor then, will demand to increase employees' wages. Businesses will close if they cannot sustain it. After that, poverty will rise.

The question here is, who should we really blame here? Our government, Oil Suppliers in the middle-east or the scarcity of the oil?

In the Philippines, after having a rice shortage, they said that there is also a "bread" shortage. i do not really know if they are just "doing" this to divert some issues but, they are doing it right if they really are. They hit Filipinos' right where it hurts and that is their stomachs.

They sent out government subsidized rice and breads. This will kill businesses. In short, in the Philippines, because of the rice and bread shortage, Poverty will increase.

Is it really helping or doing more damage?

Another Gov't Tactic - Help the poor (?)

There is shortage everywhere you go. All prices of basic commodities are also increasing. We believe that this is part of the governments campaign to redirect all attention to other issues rather than concentrating on the ZTE scandal. Yes, it is effective because they are the "basic" commodities. Who would want them to be gone?

It is getting worst in the Philippines. I estimated that before 2008 ends, tons of other shortages will arise. They targeted the weakness of Filipino people first and that is rice. Second is bread. What will they "short" next? water? air? Oil? Oil has been increasing and yesterdays headline in the newspaper was, it hit an all time high of 117 US dollars per barrel.

So, what now is the role of the government here? I know! Be a superhero! Save the Philippines. They are selling cheaper rice to the poor in lieu of the rice shortage. Now that the bread shortage is here, they will sell cheaper bread to the poor. They really got there some hard hitting strategies to "help" the poor.

Do you thing there is a connection between these "shortages" and the president? Small but terrible indeed.
