So you admit to being a user, not a contibutor.
Hope you and your sockpuppet have fun here.

“The subsidy is paid at the blending of gasoline. It is paid regardless of the source. If we eliminated the tariff, the subsidy would still be paid, but we would be promoting the foreign import over domestic production without the tariff.”
You appear to be forgetting about these subsidies.

How many of those are tied to production values? How many would actually result in less paid if more was produced? How many would be paid regardless?
I am not promoting the subsidies. But the poster seemed to be talking about the blender credit subsidy. I definitely do not want to be paying a subsidy to foreign produced ethanol.

I think subsidies are subsidies. They should all be eliminated. If a farmer can grow corn and sell it to an unsubsidized ethanol plant at a profit with no subsidies along the way I say more power to him, otherwise, it needs to end.

"I did make a recent exception for the Georgia Chapter of Americans for Prosperity for this same blog, but they asked up front and I gave them my permission to post it on their site. Are you that much better than them?"
Yes.
If we weren't, you wouldn't be so hell-bent on pimping here, now would you?

One-half gallon of oil in the form of pesticides per bushel of corn would cost $2 to $3 per bushel. If this were true -- and it clearly isn't -- it should be enough to illustrate to literally anyone that the price of petroleum is quite literally the ONLY thing driving corn prices. And this idiotic piece of agitprop -- from a hydrogen "energy" advocacy site -- also shows the guy in the encounter suit spraying chemical fertilizer, a sight that I've never been privileged to see, what with me *growing up on a farm*. |
