"Free market"? Language is pekuliar, ain't it?

Noted here, and in several articles, the Mexican government has put a cap on the price of tortillas, a food necessity to the country's poor, as the cost was increasing dramatically.
The corn subsidies of the U. S., allowing it to sell its corn at below world prices, put the Mexican corn farmer out of business. As a result, Mexican corn products such as tortillas are made with corn imported from the United States.

The large sugar, corn and rice production of the U. S. is restricting production of these products in countries where they are traditionally grown and economies are poor, increasing the numbers of people without jobs, and forcing them into immigration, raising the numbers crossing borders in hopes of finding employment.

Increasing corn prices are affecting other branches of the U. S. agricultural and livestock business. And ultimately your pocketbook.
