Ethanol is no longer an energy loser - hasn’t been for awhile. Plus the mash is excellent cattle feed, meaning you aren’t even losing the food stream.

So you have people screaming bloody murder because ethanol is subsidized, when if you removed subsidies from gasoline, we’d likely be paying double what we are.

The point is what makes an ethanol subsidy so much worse than an oil subsidy? What makes a road subsidy worse than a mass transit subsidy?

What subsidies does gasoline get? What is the gasoline tax? What are you talking about?
