So you don't consider the past ethanol tax credit per gallon a subsidy? I do. And what you suggest, giving special taxes to selected products is the government choosing the winners and losers. You support the wind tax credit as well?

No, the whole ethanol thing is a cluster, and so is wind. The ethanol debacle did nothing good for consumers, rather it harmed them and p!$$ed them off. Both are unsustainable without the "subsidy" Gasoline, however, is not. People continue to buy it, but use less of it...or, if they are transporting goods, they build fuel costs into the wholesale prices and pass them along to consumers.

If it could be so structured, cheap gas and diesel would benefit every American.

I think you and I are just going to continue to say the same things and disagree.

I do not support more federal regulations and special tax credits to selected segments of selected industry. Most conservatives agree with me.
