DILLSBURG, Pa. -- Asked Tuesday whether she supports the federal subsidy of ethanol, an always critical issue in the presidential nominating cycle, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin went one step further and called for the elimination of all energy subsidies.
"I think that all of our energy subsidies need to be relooked at today and eliminated," Palin told RCP during a quick stop at a coffee shop in this picturesque town tucked into the south-central Pennsylvania countryside. "And we need to make sure that we're investing and allowing our businesses to invest in reliable energy products right now that aren't going to necessitate subsidies because, bottom line, we can't afford it."

She’ll certainly take heat in Iowa for this. Hopefully she reminds the ADM-pimped corn-pushers up there that there are bigger things at stake here than how much corn they can force people to buy.

That’s what politicians do. Doing what they say once elected...that’s a whole different story.

Love this photo with Todd’s arm right there. Reminds me that this man knows all to well his place, even with Sarah out in front..he’s the one supporting her with a steady hand.

Politicians don’t promise to stop subsidies to get elected, and then renege. That would make no sense.

Of course she’s not running SourKraut and Krystal Bills said she wasn’t.
After all they may have never been right about any election but they know and you should listen.

They don’t necessarily renege, they just usually can’t get done what they promise.

For example, in Alaska, only oil & gas properties pay state property tax. Nearly all pay local property taxes, but only one industry pays to the state.
I believe an extraction tax makes more sense.
