But that doesn't give corn farmers unearned profits, which doesn't earn politicians their votes.
I dont think corn farmers actually make money with ethanol. They grow the corn, but the profit comes later for the people who process it.
No, they definitely get higher prices for the same corn because of the ethanol subsidies. That's the whole point of the subsidies.
Oh really? I didnt know that. Farmers are always complaining about corn prices and them being so low. They always seem to say they didnt make a profit each year. Yet have their farms still.
And somehow they have millions of dollars worth of fancy machines that they buy new every couple of years.
American farms, at least in the most productive areas, are very lucrative small businesses.
Yes I know. They always act like the economy is out to get them though.
Its total horse shit. Instead of making us use ethanol, design engines so they run a bit cleaner.
