Stan,
I fail to see how the Ethanol program feeds the poor. Help me out here, show me how those 5.6 billion bushels of corn that go in the gas tank help the poor. It drives up the cost of gas and mileage decreases. I see this as a net increase in cost to the poor and everyone else. This is for a good year. On a bad year the tax payer funded crop insurance pays the farmer for cultivating poor ground in addition to the poor quality gas.
I grew up on a farm Stan, still own my shares too. Our ground alternatives corn and beans depending on the year. I have nothing against farmers or the poor but firmly believe ethanol is garbage science and a bad idea.
I am all ears though, please tell me how this keeping us all fed....it is not.
