Editorial: Food prices rise under policy distortions
The piece argues food inflation outpaces core CPI from 2006 to 2013, citing 22 percent versus 15 percent, and 9 percent vs 5.9 percent since 2009. It pins blame on the Renewable Fuel Standard pushing corn into ethanol, farm subsidies maintaining high prices, and import restrictions. The author urges ending subsidies and the ethanol mandate to ease costs for families.
