NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Americans are in danger of having insult added to the injury of a fall from the fiscal cliff — milk prices could rise to as much as $8 a gallon if Congress does not deliver a farm bill fix.
As President Obama and congressional leaders try to cut a deal to avoid the cliff’s sharp tax increases and spending cuts, agriculture committees in the House and Senate are trying to hammer out a short-term extension of the farm bill that expired Sept. 30.
If a new bill is not passed by Tuesday, prices for milk would by law be set by standards that date to 1949, which could fuel a sharp increase from the national average of $3.50 a gallon.

Oh, by the way, this is just pure hysteria by conservatives.
hardly a conserative source
for bringing this to light.
Was at the store yesterday
and people were talking bout it.
The manager came up and told us
that they will refuse to sell at that price
and may have to close their doors.
Me....
i'm thinking who drinks the most milk..
eats the most cheese & ice cream?
Children.
Another assault on them.
when they start thier whine

It would make people truly sick if they knew how many Government agencies and programs still receiving funding were outdated or entirely pointless.
