Ethanol is a lie. It has only purpose; making money for those who grow corn. That’s it. No benefit to the environment; it fact it hurts the environment once everything is factored in. Big lie.

Ethanol subsidies are crony governmentalism at its worst. If this boondoggle cannot be cut from the budget, wasteful spending will destroy our Republic.

Why does ethanol free gasoline cost more than the ethanol gasoline??? It costs money to put ethanol in gasoline but of course the taxpayers pay the tab. Heck taxpayers pay for congresses sexual activity then we are screwgeed with paying for ethanol .... Gee, I love being bent over as much as the next person ... (sigh)

Corn is a food and should be used as such, only.

Well known facts: the production of 1 unit of ethanol requires more BTUs than the unit of ethanol supplies. Using corn as a source of ethanol increases the price of corn as a market commodity. The primary use of corn is for food stuffs for humans and livestock. The primary reason meat prices are now so expensive is the livestock/meat industry has to pay a much higher price for the corn as a feed. Ethanol added to gasoline raises the price of the gasoline and ethanol is damaging to most gasoline run motors. That in addition to higher meat and corn food prices, exactly who is benefiting from the ethanol as a fuel additive? For certain it is not the American consumer but it is the corporate farming industry, the petroleum industry and the politicians who take their donations. Ah, the American politician, the folks who sell their soles and reap the rewards at the expense of the rest of us.If one argues the infused gasoline cuts the environmentally harmful emissions, one needs to consider the more environmentally harmful emissions of the diesel fuel used in farming equipment and the increased use of farm chemicals that result in environmental deviation of our air, water and beneficial insect species that have been decimated such as many species of parasitic wasps and of course the American honey bee and other plant pollinators. Yep, that ethanol for fuel is a real winner. NOT!

He dropped that as an issue when campaigning in Illinois and Wisconsin. I was pulling my hair out barraging his advisors in both states during their primaries to use that issue and was completely ignored.
