It was never "surplus" cheese. The govt BOUGHT that cheese. Companies don't produce too much on a routine basis. Not millions of pounds.
It's lies, propaganda.

The FED is providing money to the banks that they use to buy stocks. That's part of the $20 trillion debt.
Easy money is fueling the auto market.
Again, easy money is fueling the housing market.
Banking, finance, is not doing well. There are $ trillions in NEGATIVE interest government bonds in the world. The interest rate in the US is being artificially kept low so the government can make the minimum interest payments on the $20 trillion it owes.
We're in a depression, only nobody can tell because the government bails everyone out. 50 million WOULD be standing in bread/soup lines if they didn't get a card to spend at WalMart. Millions would be homeless without section 8. It's all been postponed through government borrowing. They borrowed over $10 TRILLION ($10,000,000,000,000) in the last 10 years.
