Default Ethanol subsidies and tariffs end

Hey, just cause your grocery store has food, doesn't mean that the food
chain is unaffected.

I suppose you would also say "I had dinner last night, so there is no
starvation in Africa." Same general concept.

From what I can figure, ethanol in gasoline is a bit loser, on so many

"Takes food out of the food chain."

I don't see any grocery store shelves going empty. Have you? There's
plenty of beef, pork, chicken, fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk, flour,
dry goods, canned goods...

Sure the price of food has gone up a little, but food prices were way
low in this country to begin with. It's about time we paid a little
more for our food.

In some countries the cost of food is 90%+ of the household income.
Here in the USA it's something like 10-15%. We spend the rest of our
money on toys and "bling" we don't really need.
