News-Talk 1110 WBT News Latest US proposal for ethanol could have political fallout
It seems even the far left Obama admin is not properly kneeling before kissing Iowa farmers pinkie rings..
These subsidies have to be ended. Most of the cash goes to huge corporate farms anyway.
You libs want to bitch about corporate welfare, well the corn subsidy is one for your target practice.
Not only does Ethanol not save anyone a dime at the pump, it causes premature deterioration of engines and fuel systems. It also reduces fuel economy.
Any alleged reduction in pollution given off by straight gasoline is offset by the higher fuel consumption( in the tenths of miles per gallon) which cause more fuel to be burned. It also results in more visits to the repair shops.
Also, the corn subsidy has driven food prices to levels that cause certain food items such as beef and poultry to become very expensive.
Yet, through all this, no presidential candidate will make it through the Iowa Caucuses if he or she does not state they unconditionally support the corn subsidy
