Ethanol no longer gets a direct subsidy. However, Ethanol mandates (which DJT supports) have the effect of a subsidy because it forces gasoline vendors to buy a product they would not otherwise buy.

I agree with you.

Get rid of all government subsidies, Except where they can be justified for National Security.

Somethings can be justified...

If all the farmers went out of business because of one or to bad drought years Our food supply would be lost permanently. This one might be justified as a national interest To maintain national strategic reserve of food supplies

I would submit that the reason farmers need subsidies in the first place is ridiculous government regulations

But ridiculous studies of Shrimp on a treadmill should be cut

Well, let’s wait & see how Thune reacts. Does he support Trump this time, or does he do the same thing as his first term?

Trump supports them. Even tried to increase them but got struck down in court.
