This is really good reporting by Schultz. Watch him put the pieces together, making the connections between Wall Street speculators, the high food prices, and now this unrest in Egypt.

I am loving this, the law of unintended consequences.

1. The role of commodities trading in escalating food prices.

There used to be more regulation of trading in commodities like wheat.

2. Dylan mentioned it

but he didn't go in depth (not the topic there),about the role of speculators and the price of energy (gas). Americans and citizens of the world are being further impoverished so that the Goldman Sachs of our world can become even more obscenely wealthy. It destroys governments as well as people.
Most telling, to me, is that our President has filled his cabinet positions with mostly Goldman Sachs profiteers....
We need to follow Egypt's lead, immediately.
