Default Re: Ethanol

It's mostly about votes...getting the farm votes. And, they can say they are doing something to reduce imported oil. I hate it when politicians think we're too dumb to see through them.

Ethanol still gets almost $1.00 per gal of tax payer's money as a subsidy to support this nonsense.

Thank your congresssmen, Al Gore, Sen. Harry Reid and Speaker of the House, Nancy Palosi.

Corn farmer's however, are delighted.
