We produce so much food that if we didn’t find uses for it other than eating it, agricultural commodity prices would collapse and producing food would no longer be a profitable endeavor. It raises the price of food and gasoline but the trade off is a stable and abundant food supply and happy prosperous farmers.
“It raises the price of food and gasoline but the trade off is a stable and abundant food supply and happy prosperous farmers.”
Yea, plenty of food that no one can afford. Gasoline that is
artificially kept high because it is a mechanism used to
transfer wealth to political cronies and in this case to
buy votes.
Never in my life have I ever heard that over production
lead to higher prices. The problem isn’t production or
transport, it’s ignorant bureaucrats, their bureaucracy
and stupid regulations. Higher prices is how liberals function.
It’s all about control and propaganda. Like believing
that higher prices on the very most important things to
survive is a good thing. Some people actually fall for
some of the stupidest things.

I see the messianic DONALD TRUMP (BLESSED BE HIS HOLY NAME) is leading his followers further to the left as he PANDERS FOR VOTES...and the supporters mindlessly follow him.

Thank you. U.S. Modern Ag is the best in the world. Sadly people don’t realize it.
Those are weak arguments.
First, we don't eat feed corn, and they feed the expended mash to livestock afterwards as a superior feed than dried corn. Secondly, gas is now dirt cheap with or without the ethanol.
Thirdly (although you didn't mention this) it doesn't "destroy engines" but it may make a mess in unvented tanks if contaminated by water.
The best arguments against gasohol are; it gives fewer MPG and less power than straight gasoline, and the government forces us to use it.
I do believe however, that the argument could be made, that at some reduced level, it is a fairly decent and inexpensive "octane rating" booster for standard 83-octane unleaded...a simple and non-toxic additive.
...Voluntary of course.
Gross economic ignorance. Declining agricultural commodity prices would drive out the least efficient producers until a new equilibrium was reached; people could eat at a price they were willing to pay, and resources would be freed up for more efficient uses.

Welfare always makes its recipients happy.
Trump is the welfare-for-votes GOP candidate.
I have to feed my children so screw these rent seeking farmers.
If that happened, a number of people would stop farming until the number of producers arrived at a level that could feed the population while commanding adequate prices to be profitable for the farmers.
You are making a classic liberal argument for government interference in the market. I guess you also support sugar subsidies and other agricultural subsidies. Are you also in favor of subsidies for wind and solar and other "green technologies"?
