OK, everyone knows that, and agrees, so what?
Are you saying that that makes the oil subsidies OK?
BTW, it takes several, 4 to 10 crop cycles to bring an ethanol plant on-line, depending on the resistance of the enviro-nazis.
I'm saying that "oil subsidies" in the form of protecting access to the only existing sources was justifiable. Our economy would have shutdown if we had not protected the sources. Since the government (RATS) insists on preventing private industry from developing domestic sources, we have little choice other than using the military to keep existing sources accessible.
