More On The Central Valley

As prices at the grocery store begin to climb, Americans need to know some of the causes of the increase.  One cause is the increasing cost of gasoline.  That increase can be traced to OPEC's goal of $100 a barrel oil and America's unwillingness to develop its own energy resources.  The other reason for the increase of cost at the grocery store is what has happened to the Central Valley in California.  The water which irrigates the Central Valley has been turned off the protect a small, inedible fish called the delta smelt.  Hot Air posted a video yesterday explaining the consequences of government actions.

The article at Hot Air concludes:

"The crisis in the Central Valley comes directly from the application of the Endangered Species Act to the Delta smelt, one of a number of bait fish species indigenous to the area.  The order by a federal judge relying on that law cut off irrigation to a massive area of arable land and created a vast wasteland out of a farming bonanza, all to protect one species of inedible fish.  Congress needs to curtail the ESA and get the water turned back on in the valley."

I drove through the Central Valley last summer.  There was signs everywhere saying, "Stop the Pelosi, Reid Dust Bowl."  The people who live there are suffering economically due to government policies.  It's time the power of the government to put honest people out of business was curtailed.
