Dems want more food aid

In a stunning attempt at not actually addressing what is causing the food crisis, the Senate Democrats want to increase the amount of money given towards international food aid.

A group of U.S. Senate Democrats called on the White House on Monday to support a $200 million increase in international food aid this year beyond the spending boost President George W. Bush has already requested.

"This is the worst global food crisis in more than 30 years. It threatens not only the health and survival of millions of people around the world, many of them children, but it also is a threat to global security," said Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Senate Democrat.

C'mon, Dick, why don't we cut the ethanol crap and actually solve this problem?
