Do these people have no clue that they made this bed when they started pushing ethanol? That once the government subsidized growing corn for fuel, farmers would flock to that and the price of everything else (including wheat for pasta) would skyrocket?
What did the envirowackos think was going to happen? Corn would magically appear to be made into ethanol and it would have NO effect on the world’s food supply or world’s food prices?
Put another one in the “Law of Unintended Consequences” file.
Duh.
There is no corn subsidy to farmers and farmers have
increased output to supply the extra for ethanol.
Price supports stopped at less than half of present price.
There is no shortage just prices deiven up by
speculators. The money speculating in farm crops has
went up 20 times in last 8 years.They are trating it like
all other financial dealings, driving up the price.Ed
