Ethanol is a joke and the government shouldn't be subsidizing corn syrup. These are just my opinions. Click the link if you agree or want an elaboration.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I think there are more pressing things to worry about.

Bottom line: subsidies buy votes. Neither party is gonna change that one soon.
