Pat,
I think you got it all right, here we are paying three times. One at the gas pump, two in our taxes paying those subsidies, and three in the increased prices of our food. I have a friend up in the state of Washington who farms several hundred acres of the most beautiful alfalfa you ever saw. He is now considering plowing under the alfalfa to grow corn like all his neighbors have done. He says almost daily he hears of a new ethanol plant in production.......RJ
Man this whole thing is SICK !!!!!
If we plowed under ALL of the crops in this country and grew corn it would
only replace the INCREASE in oil for 3 years...
Then we can rely on OTHER countries to feed us...
REAL SMART.. but it is PC...
