Not this crap again! My position on this has never changed - what people call ethanol subsidies is simply not taxing it as petroleum motor fuels. If not taxing something is a subsidy then I wish wed subsidize everything. This means everyone that pays anything but the top tax rate is subsidized. This logic says that clothes purchases with no sales tax are subsidies. Ad nauseam.
Plus a note to Jonas - how totally irrelevant are you writing about ethanol in the middle of a battle for the soul and sovereignty of the USA? Ivory tower conservatism is as useless as nipples on a bull.

Great, so you have no problem stopping the mandate that forces companies to add the crap?
Willing suspension of all disbelief. This non-taxing benefit results in a frigging MANDATE to put that sh!t in all our engines when there is NO mechanical benefit proven. That isn’t clothes, it isn’t tax credits or “no-taxing.” In my opinion, they aren’t “no-taxing;”
they are more likened to tax credits for behavior.
