While the army and navy of the United states are in Africa, Europe and the Pacific, fighting “for a world in which this [n]ation, and all that this [n]ation represents, will be safe for our children,” the supreme court, of the corporate United states, hands down Wickard v. Filburn: Wheat that is planted, grown, harvested and consumed all on the same property affects interstate commerce, and is thus subject to regulation by CONgress.
NOTE: At the time of this decision, the national (command-market) price of wheat was almost three times that of the world (free-market) price.
