The biggest problem I see is that we not only subsidize the ethenol, but 
subsidize the farmer that is growing the corn for the ethenal.  

Plus now that the price of corn has risen so much, there isn't any 
profit in using corn to make ethenal (more subsidies on that end 
needed)... plus the farmers still need subsidies because fuel prices are 
so high, and it now costs too much to feed corn to their lifestock... so 
do we subsidize lifestock growers more to keep raising lifestock???  If 
everyone jumps out of livestock because of high corn prices, our food 
prices will be even HIGHER.

Gaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!

We are spinning in circles of subsidies with what we are doing now.

Kinda crazy.

Maybe we should have been subsidizing all these farmers to grow hemp for 
bio-diesel??... at least they could be pumping it back into their 
machinery.
