Mitt Romney,..... said last week in Iowa that he supports ethanol subsidies.
But Palin differs, saying,..
“We’ve got to allow the free market to dictate what’s most efficient and economical for our nation’s economy. No, at this time, our country can’t afford the subsidies. Before, though, we even start arguing about some of these domestic subsidies that need to be eliminated — should be — we need to look at ending subsidies and loans to foreign countries and their energy production that we’re relying on, like Brazil.”
Love that she mentioned ‘Brazil’...another Bo slap to the jaw. And she is right on about ending loans to other countries. Stopping the borrowing of money from other foreign countries to loan to other foreign countries is insanity!
Growing corn for fuel is mindbogglingly stupid. That has created corn shortages and a huge increase in costs to agriculture. We buy corn for our horses, and the price is more than 1 and a half times what it was a year ago. Think what this means to the cost of raising cattle, chickens, pigs. Has your grocery bill gone up? Of course. and does corn for fuel have any affect on the price of a barrel of oil? Absolutely not.
End all agricultural and manufacturing subsidies. End all foreign aide. End all Congressional subsidies and apply term limits. Especially end all subsidies and bailouts for the banksters.
