Imagine from bean curd prices豆腐漲價聯想

The factory price of two pieces of bean curds has risen from $10 to $15, a shocking 50% increase!
This is the highest percentage increase I ever heard in recent spate of commodity prices moves.
Everybody is saying that all kinds of prices are increasing except salary.
This is a real problem that is worrying.
For if one couldn't bear the increases of gasoline price, he still can move by riding bicycle or on feet. But if he couldn't afford the prices of food, he would be even unable to move.
Subsidy on gasoline prices benefits those consume more gasoline more than those consume less. This is unfair and contradicts to the policy of energy saving.
Subsidy on food is fairer because everyone needs to eat bean curd, and no one would eat 10 bean curds in a meal.
Besides, subsidy should be handed out in a prudent way, and should not be used as a political tool, that would misplace resources and jeopardize many things in many ways now and in future.

二塊豆腐的工廠價格從10元漲到15元,好嚇人的 50% 漲幅!
這是最近這一波商品漲價聲中,我聽到的最大漲幅.
人人都說每樣東西都漲,唯獨薪水不漲.
這問題實在令人憂心.
因為一個人如果負擔不起汽油的價格,他還可以藉騎腳踏車或走路來移動,但如果他負擔不起食物的價格,他便可能連動都無法動.
汽油價格補貼對汽油消費量大的人的利益,比消費量小的人多,這不公平,而且違反節約能源的政策.
對食物價格補貼會比較公平,因為每個人都需要吃豆腐,而且沒有人會一餐吃十塊豆腐.
此外,補貼應該非常謹慎,不應淪為政治工具,因為補貼易使資源錯置,並且以各種形式危害現在或未來的許多事情.
