And if those tax dollars are not ignored?

Ethanol is simply another form of government mandated farm subsidy.

It’s as cleverly UN-hidden as the socialist subsidization of housing that’s being provided via the sub-prime fiasco.

What an interesting coincidence it is that both pogroms are being further subsidized via the Fed’s policy of monetary inflation.

Why would you ignore those tax dollars? If food is $1 cheaper but my taxes are $2 more expensive, I don't consider that a good deal. But then again, I'm not a farmer.

Exactly. We need to get rid of the early Iowa caucuses. Then politicians would be less eager to throw money at that wasteful "solution" to our energy needs.
