A very bold move that’s also the right thing to do. This could destroy her politically, but since the corn growers and livestock farmers are now split on the issue, the farm bureau vote is weakened. she just may pull it off.

So let me get this straight– she’s blaming ethanol for high gas prices? Are you kidding me? A recent study from Iowa State University has shown that Corn Ethanol has reduced the cost of gas between $.29 and $.40 per gallon throughout the country. In corn producing states, that number is around $.39.

Meanwhile, the OPEC countries who are enemies of the United States (Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela) are making money hand-over-foot from these high prices. Steelman needs to get her facts straight and aim her energy at the REAL culprit of high food and gas prices– OPEC’s price gouging per barrel of oil.

Ethanol is probably the biggest scam on Americans in the last 100 years. When the self serving ethanol jerks tell you that we’re keeping the money here rather than sending it to some mideast Islamic sheik they are wrong. Ethanol requires more energy to make than you get from it so you actually end up sending those scum more money. While all the time picking hard working Americans pockets!

No one seems to be talking about the subsidies. How much does that gallon of ethanol blend gas really cost the taxpayer?

Fewer miles per gallon and potential increased maintenance expense to your engine add to the cost. Then there’s the devastating impact to livestock producers and consumers buying meat products.

Corn producers and ethanol plant owners win - everyone else loses!

Of greatest importance, though, is the miss-use of government power. Since when is it government’s job to determine the winners and losers in a free market economy?
