Corn welfare must END (and I am very liberal/progressive if that matters).

But considering it's Iowa we are talking about, most politicians if they want to be president won't touch it with a 10-foot pole.

Ethanol is destroying small engines (generators, lawn mowers, etc) and most definitely reduces mpg by 10%

   a gallon of ethanol costs approximately 17 percent less than that of a gallon of gasoline

That is why gas distributors love it - they not only get goverment welfare for using ethanol, it allows them to dilute the less profitable gasoline (to 'cut' it).

(and yes, I use "subsidies" and "welfare" interchangeably because it's corporate welfare)

Let's get INDEPENDENT scientists not funded by the oil industry or government to write an article and I'll trust it.
