If you have read this blog, you know that I think the ethanol subsidy has been one of the really awful programs funded by the Feds. Beyond the $6 billion per year subsidy to giant ag firms, it has wrecked lots of engines and fuel tanks, raised food prices for corn (often to those who can least afford it), and wrapped itself in a bogus green mantle to make people think it was environmentally sound when in actuality it used more fossil-based fuels to manufacture than gasoline. But Congress recently did nothing and killed this monstrosity in its tracks. How? By failing to re-authorize the subsidy. Yeah team! May Congress do more such "nothing" in the future! The next step is to repeal the EPA mandate for the stuff in gasoline.
