If you can find the word 'subsidize' in the US Constitution enumerated as a Federal power in Article 3, Section 8, I'll send a $1,000.00 donation to FR

LOL! Ease up a bit, we're on the same side here, we are just arguing about the details.

Should we fight a war to ensure the free flow of ethanol? Clearly not. Or at least that's my opinion.

Yet, we did just that for the free flow of oil, rightly so. Even though that war, Gulf I, was correctly fought, it was a subsidy for oil, fought at great financial cost, and at the cost of many of our bravest..

Thanks for that information.

I am out of farming for 20 years now, and thus reduced to arguing concepts, it’s good to have some hard, current, facts supporting those concepts.
