Stop "Big Coffee"

Now, IF anything calls for governmental intervention, I would say it has to be the precipitous rise in coffee prices. Clearly either "Big Coffee" needs some regulation and price controls, or there needs to be a bailout for all the vulnerable coffee users who will most certainly feel the pinch of the shrinking economy and the vicious cold snap which together have taken a big bite out of the world coffee supply. It is also now painfully clear, perhaps too late, that we are far too dependent on foreign sources of coffee. There needs to be an invigorated effort toward increasing domestic coffee production. Victory Gardens? Window Box Espresso? Now, I know it's a tad inconsistent of me (conservative republican type) to be advocating some of these thing, but desperate times demand desperate measures.
