If you guys out in Iowa and Nebraska want to take the Saudis down a few pegs by producing cheap, abundant Ethanol fuel, go ahead and knock yourselves out.

The three-decade lab experiment thusfar has concluded that you just can’t do it without massive taxpayer subsidies.

Brazil ended subsidies for ethanol over ten years ago and eliminated its ethanol tariff early this year. The U.S. should reciprocate.

The ethanol tax credit alone costs American taxpayers over $6 billion per year.

Have you already cashed your check from Archer Daniels Midland?

End the subsidies. Enough already.

Oil companies are invested in ethanol. They know a money making scam when they see it.

Anybody with the scantest amount of common sense knows you don't have to subsidize something that is a good product.

Using a base food staple as an engine fuel is dumb, forcing the taxpayers to pay for it is stupid.
