We don't need tax breaks, just cheaper cheese.
If someone asked me how the economy is doing, I'd probably say it was ok. I'm employed. I should be happy about that. But a trip to the grocery store lately has nearly put me in a state of shock. I think it was just 6 months ago, parmigiano reggiano, a staple in our house, was $8.99 per pound. At that price I'd shop pretty carefully to get piece with a minimum amount of rind and make the guy at the cheese counter go cut another piece if I couldn't find a satisfactory one. NOW IT'S $16.99 PER POUND!!. What's the deal? I thought it was a local thing, but last month in Chicago, I noticed the same price.
The grocery store is becoming a pretty expensive place to go these days. Things are becoming tough out there.

In S.F. 5 years ago, Parm. Reggiano was selling at the price you complain of. Argentinian parm. reg. was available at 8.50 a pd.

WOW! I recently found an Australian Reggiano (if that makes sense) around here and it was amazing. Only $8/lb.
