I’m taken back that it is Sen. Hutchinson who is proposing the legislation. Then again, maybe all the midWest Senators are getting all their information about the subsidies effect from Big Agra.

*sigh*

It would be nice if blogs did what they used to do and vetted claims instead of echoing them.

Good for Kay Bailey Hutchinson. She has stood up for regular people many times before. A good person with a lot of class.

Amen to Drew. If we would develop known petrol reserves, the shale oil in Utah, Nuclear tech, and aggressively pursue biofuels that are not a staple food we would be much better off

End all farm subsidies, now!
End all restrictions on exploration and drilling too!
Otherwise, kiss your ass good-bye while you still have the strength to pucker-up.

A question remains regarding this matter - how many politicians who advocate and champion E-85 are making money from it at the expense of the American tapxayer?

Thank you for your time.

The sad fact is that our energy policy is hostage to politicians who have no real interest in doing anything other than pandering to interests that do not have the US’ economic wellbeing as a goal.

Let’s drill in the US. Now. Regardless of how angry that makes the House of Saud. It might improve their genetic stock if they had to actually work for a living.

Good for her! While I am not a foe of ~~agribu~~ farmers, our farmers are capable of finding the best return in a market by themselves…we don’t need to reduce oil consumption so badly that its worth starving millions for it, no matter what the wackos say.
