Thousands of dairy farmers on Monday protested low prices for their
product, choking traffic in the Belgian capital with their tractors and
spraying European Union headquarters and police with milk. One group
started a fire in the street, but despite some pushing and shoving with
police, there was no major violence. Farmers from several EU nations are
demanding higher prices for milk, which currently is often being sold
at below production costs, threatening the survival of their farms.
If the governments would stop trying to subsidize and regulate everything the free markets would provide a fair price.

Socialist rioting for more government intervention.
ReplyDelete"Your not socialist enough!"
As SFMedic stated, let the market set the price and all will work out.
