The current congress can kill the subsidy, by not providing funds in the next budget to make the payments, do you think they will do that, hell no!!!
We are not going to solve the nation’s budget problem if everyone is for cutting everyone’s pork and entitlements, except those that they benefit from.
Forget Ethanol, I want a $5/gal BioDiesel subsidy.
Simple solution: kill the Iowa caucuses.
Make corn into fuel=higher food prices. Higher food prices=unrest in middle east. Unrest in middle east=higher fuel prices. Higher fuel prices=make more fuel from food.
The Death circle folks.
I guess we’re testing for how many times America can bang it’s head into a wall before it realizes the source of it’s pain.
People will never learn as long as they believe they have a right to other people’s resources.

I’d love to hear what this genius calls an “oil subsidy”.
“Cows” is the word the author is looking for. It’s a transitive verb. “To cower” is the action of the sniveling weakling who is “cowed.”
FDR bought America’s farmers and most of them have harvested their biggest cash crop in the form of USDA payments ever since.Republican farmers are a rarity.I grew up in what was once farm country.
You've got that right. I think I would vote for anyone who pledged to end ethanol subsidies and the government requirement it be added to gasoline.
Amen. I lived in MN for fifteen years. No matter how conservatively Minnesota farmers live their lives(especially the older ones), they will staunchly vote DFL (Democrat-Farm-Labor) because of their idolatry of FDR. If there is no democrat on the ballot, they will write one in.
Wow, you two are scaring me.
If US farmers are the big socialists wed to subsidies, as you suggest, then we are truly doomed.
I guess I’m just thankful the caucuses don’t start out here in California - where I live.
Imagine how much graft would have to be paid to the teacher union and prison guards unions out here, in order to get traction on the Primary ballot.
If THAT were the case...we’d be worse than North Korea, now...
:-(
Palin was with McCain in 2008. She does not support ethanol subsidies now.
Don't worry. I don't think Palin is running, but if she does, she's my favorite.
