How could we end up with a $10 tomato? The prices of tomatoes, potatoes, breakfast cereal and other commodities are generally kept fairly low because consumers control what they buy. No matter what we do in our current system of shopping, we will not see a $10 tomato until Obamanomics causes hyperinflation and we begin using tomatoes as currency.
However, there is one other way that we could see a $10 tomato. That is if we get government involved in the food industry. For starters, the government could start a grocery insurance system for retired people to ensure sure that all retired people could afford groceries. This system would also be utilized by wealthy retired people, even by those who owned grocery stores and tomato farms. It could also be used by persons who were disabled; and a similar but separate system could be initiated for people who fall below a certain income level. One benefit of this system is that confused shoppers (such as me) would have fewer products from which to choose. The government would have lists of groceries that were acceptable, others that were off-limits. Perhaps there would be only about five breakfast cereals and only one type of our hapless tomato offered to individuals on the Government grocery plan...
