You can scream it all you want, but corn isn’t a “subsidized” crop. The market price of corn exceeds FSA target prices.

It defies common sense that so many otherwise conservative freepers who rightly spew against the minimum wage, CAFE mileage standards, social insecurity, welfare, hurricane flood insurance, and yet support ethanol diktats worthy of the old USSR.

Ethanol make greenies of all political parties feel good. The program fleeces the taxpayer, it gouges the consumer and ultimately will have little to no positive effect on our energy independence.

“The market price of corn exceeds FSA target prices.”

Okay, but more accurately, it exceeds government welfare prices for farmers.
