That makes all the pandering of Iowa voters all the more sickening. Damned dirty subsidies for corn farmers.

Yeah!, Yeah!, I know. "What? You don't want people to eat corn?" "You want people to starve?"

Blow it out yer ear. Corn Welfare is not about feeding the world. It's about funneling tax dollars into the pockets of Iowa corn farmers.

Bunch of cornholes.

Corn is for eating, Jack.

Gasoline is for internal combustion engines.

Just because someone thinks putting corn into a gas tank is foolish and unnecessary, doesn’t mean they are of the ‘We are the World’ mentality.

I agree, and Ted Cruz was the ONLY republican candidate who declined to commit to support the Renewable Fuel Standards when several Republican candidates visited Iowa this past Spring.

That would explain why, by law, the protein rich used mash can’t be used as animal feed.

The corn farmers sell even more grain as animal feed...

...and that means we pay more for our meat and eggs!

” into the pockets of Iowa corn farmers. “

You misspelled “Monsanto” there.

I haven’t seen any sales like 6/$1 corn on the cob at the grocery store this summer. Guess we know now know why.
