I agree with you 100%. My only point was that ethanol is probably not starving anybody. It is crappy fuel compared to gasoline, and I can’t find a local source for ethanol free. It should not be subsidized.

If the oil ever gets obscenely expensive, and its not near that yet, we can make some sensible use of ethanol. Maybe. Let the market determine that.

Since this long discussion started, I have seen a couple more threads containing the “ethanol is starving babies” argument. Sigh.

That is what I expected. Thanks anyway.

Been looking for one of those old Sears stoves for years.

That is a hard one to come by. Ya know..If you had time you might find one of those on the plains..like around the dust bowl areas, etc.

If you find one up here in an old abandoned place, its usually rusted to hell.

The woodstove in my cabin (Herkimer, NY) is a relic I bought at a yard sale for $100

Just an iron box.

We have been using it for about 20 years.

I'm unsure just when Larry Kudlow started discussing this, but it's been a concern for many months now.
