Just makes you laugh at how ignorant leftists are

What's outrageous is how taxpayers are forced to subsidize ethanol.

Schadenfraud probably can't name one legitimate reason why these subsidies should continue.

Gotta love how liberals criticize Fox, but have the audacity to treat these blog articles as "news."

I can....ethanol subsidies cost US taxpayers less each year than the corn growers subsidy it made unnecessary....

All farm subsidies should be eliminated. Problem solved.

Considering we grow more food than any other nation on the planet (we regularly export a good deal of it as well)...

You do realize that this is not by choice right? Perhaps this is the reason for all their anti-union machinations.

The worldwide increase in fuel and food cost hardly justifies this.

and we've subsidized agriculture for eighty years.......

lol......the ethanol subsidy didn't cause a worldwide increase in the cost of fuel and food.......rising oil prices caused the worldwide increase in the cost of fuel and food......

Still sticking with this lie? Every gallon of gas costs more, if for no other reason than the fact that mixing ethanol with gasoline causes reduded MPG.
The increase in the cost of food is now well known, only you seem to have missed it.

if you weren't a troll I would respond to your arguments.....since you are, I refer you to previous threads where this has already been argued.....

leave it to this......if it is not obvious to you that the cost of a bushel of corn has nothing to do with increased prices for oranges, milk, and lettuce (although prices for those items have increased as much as the price of corn flakes and corn oil) and that the cost of fuel to transport everything in the grocery store does, then perhaps you should take an hour or so and contemplate reality before you post.....

as for the "if for no other reason" consider the fact that there ARE other reasons....
