We have ethanol because farmers in Iowa want your money

Being brutally honest, the idea of having a right to other people’s money and using govenment to take it is as much an American ideal now as anything else.
It would behoove us small government types to engage and try to change minds.

...aged in charred oak barrels.

And having the Iowa caucus first ensures they'll continue to get it.

I hate ethanol. Never out that shite in my boat or small engines

100% fact.
Ethanol is a boondoggle as much as the kooky, left wing ideas that solar and wind can provide our power needs in the foreseeable future (like within 50 or 60 years, which is nonsense).
And, ethanol has the added burden of increasing costs of car ownership and actual toxic pollution (not the mythical CO2 boogeyman of the AGW folks, which is not a pollutant at all.)

Agree 100%. I don't even care that they get money, but don't make me put that shite in my car.

Just as Tip O'Neill once called Social Security the "third rail of American politics"...i.e., you touch it and you die...ethanol is the third rail of Iowa politics.

Iowa is making money off of fricking up engines with ethanol and causing diabetes with high fructose corn syrup.

We have ethanol because of junk science pushed by climate alarmists. Ethanol refuses to go away because of corn farmers and politicians.

I remember when it first came on the scene after the 1973 embargo. Folk s called the mixture Gasohol. Kind of like cutting a barrel of whiskey with water to make it last longer.

Corn, for the most part, will be the downfall of this country .... on so many levels.
Where to begin?
Ethanol is just one of the many evils of our worship of corn and corn farmers.

Why so much hate for farmers? You do realize the blenders are the ones that are recieving tax credits,right?

Don't forget corn syrup.
Remember it was supposed to be so much healthier for kids than sugar.
They started putting that shite in our food and it's way worse than sugar.
