How about 'oil subsidies'? Should they be ended too?

Yep.

If you can find the word 'subsidize' in the US Constitution enumerated as a Federal power in Article 3, Section 8, I'll send a $1,000.00 donation to FR.

If you can't find it, you send $1,000.00 to FR.

Care to take my bet?

LOL! Ease up a bit, we're on the same side here, we are just arguing about the details.

Should we fight a war to ensure the free flow of ethanol? Clearly not. Or at least that's my opinion.

Yet, we did just that for the free flow of oil, rightly so. Even though that war, Gulf I, was correctly fought, it was a subsidy for oil, fought at great financial cost, and at the cost of many of our bravest..
