The reason the national government cut off the lifeline was because they want capacity to decline so that prices can rise enough to make ends meet again.

You keep missing that even at prices below their cost of production (and even with the national government buying up inventory), they can't sell as much as they are making.

Global demand is expected to double again by 2015

Expected by you perhaps... but we've already seen how far off your expectations can be just two years later... now haven't we?
