Well now c. captain are you having a senior moment or are you experiencing a convenient loss of memory when dear comrade Obama reduced the carriage requirments from 75 to 50% and was intending to entirely cease all physical food transports from the US and replace it with monetary cash for kalishnikovs to help the third world dictators starve their people even further.
