Uh, there are many things wrong with a government subsidizing anything. I
don't have much problem with research grants, but subsidizing production is
an outrage. Poor Mexicans are almost starving because the cost of tortillas
is almost prohibitive, thanks to our ethanol subsidies!

Not true. The corn used to produce ethanol is what is fed to beef and pork (as
well as poultry)

which is then fed to them as DDGS

If the poor Mexicans are almost starving because of the cost of tortillas, it's
because they aren't growing enough corn...they aren't producing ethanol
