How many of those are tied to production values? How many would actually result in less paid if more was produced? How many would be paid regardless?
I am not promoting the subsidies. But the poster seemed to be talking about the blender credit subsidy. I definitely do not want to be paying a subsidy to foreign produced ethanol.
I think subsidies are subsidies. They should all be eliminated. If a farmer can grow corn and sell it to an unsubsidized ethanol plant at a profit with no subsidies along the way I say more power to him, otherwise, it needs to end.
