The subsidy on Ethanol is the suspension of a wholesale tax on domestic supplies. So maybe you can drop the subsidy crap.

The anti's want to add the cost of production, but they don't deduct the sale of by products. They kind of have your mentality Rosie, pick and choose facts, true or not, that support your argument.

Even Henry Ford started with Ethanol, and you know why he changed to gas, don't you?
