>> OPEC and trillion dollar wars OR ethanol and 6 billion in tax write-offs?
With all due respect, Chaplain, that is a false dichotomy.

I appreciate the willingness to engage in fair debate.
But that IS what Trump is saying.
Now, as to whether it’s a fair way of looking at ethanol, it really should be viewed in light of his total remarks that he wants American energy independence.
What is that worth considering how many trillions in our defense budget have been focused on the Middle East over the last 50 years?
So, I actually consider it to be an astute observation on his part. He’ll encourage fracking, wildcatting, drilling, brewing, etc. ANYTHING that produces energy.
And we all know that those industries ALSO get tax breaks.
And that’s all the ethanol subsidy is: a tax break for refiners. It’s not even for farmers. They benefit from greater competition for their corn.
