The reduction or elimination of subsidies might be disruptive in the short run, but the Constitution doesn’t provide for them. Time to let the farm industry go it alone.
Bottom line, if it’s a good idea, it can stand on its own and doesn’t need a crutch from Uncle Sam. This includes ethanol.

I agree.
But, I can see why, say Japan subsidises it’s own rice by banning imports.
They want to be self-sufficient for rice. Smart move.
Some time over the next 100 years they’ll be glad they have their own food supply.

It would be disruptive in the short run if it happened, but it's not going to happen. The farm lobby has Congress bought and paid for.
