that’s not support for ethanol subsidies.

Just wanted to clarify, in case others were not sure, if those are subsidies, then the mortgage interest deduction is a subsidy. By your definition, standard deductions are subsidies.

I'd hate to even bring up welfare like child tax credits, if you think that standard deductions are subsidies.

How do you figure that? A subsidy is a subsidy....we pay for it. Ron Paul is trying to parse words in an effort to support ethanol...and add this to his $400 million in earmarks, and we are beginning to see a trend. His statements make no sense.
