Some folks might find the fact that you don't know what you're talking about to be outrageous.
Dang! -- I'd wish you'd have told me that before I posted my comment and made myself look foolish. Aw well, at least I'm lucky enough to run into a smart guy like you who can bring me up to speed.. Let's see --this is what I've got:
| 1. | . | Ethanol subsidy is reported at somewhere between $50 million and $100 million per year depending on who you believe. |
| 2. | This years increase in the federal budget request for the Marines had to be limited to just $800 million. The additional funding made funding available for "a new Marine Corps Special Operations component to conduct special reconnaissance and other missions; establishes a SOF Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron". This will save the lives of many Marines. | |
| 3. | If the budget for this component had been increased by ten percent then fewer marines would have died. | |
| 4. | Instead, the money has to go to farmers to make fuel that I nobody wants to buy unless the IRS forces them to. |
What am I missing?
