It is extremely interesting that some very conservative lawmakers are for the ethanol tax breaks.
It is extremely interesting that some very "conservative" lawmakers are for the ethanol tax breaks.
(You left out necessary punctuation here.)
It’s due to our lousy farm policy that encourages overproduction. Ethanol may suck, but $2 corn rotting in bins sucks even worse for the economy.
We need to focus on broad spectrum added value ag technology and refining for our farm policy. Do that and the ethanol problem goes away.
They are nothing short of being just plain whores.
There is nothing in the greater good for the country about ethanol. It is an expensive, wasteful, low energy content, machinery destroying, resource wasting fuel and should be forgotten about. There are much better alternatives that have languished because they don’t favor the ethanol related lobby of farm groups and agribusiness like Cargill, ADM and Monsanto. Include a handfull of farm equipment manufacturers in there plus aggressive tax credits for new farm equipment and you have ETHANOL. There is a lot of building going on in the farm belt, new barns and houses all funded by the ethanol subsidy. I don’t mind farmers making money but I do mind it being by way of tax created routes. Just another house of cards to buy votes with your money.
yippee.
Interesting is not quite the word, the word should be enlightening that is one sees exactly what the two party DC style political machine is: A criminal enterprise.
