Mitt Romney, who last week in Iowa, came out in favor of government subsidies for ethanol, the fuel produced from corn and other farm products...

Ethanol subsidies make me sick to my stomach. Another example of do nothing, fiscal incompetency in our elected officials.

I’m not sure about the other subsidies. If they are in the form of tax credits as you would for other industries, I think that is warranted. But out and out subsidies is wrong.

Paying farmers not to plant. Is that still going on?
