My wife and watched the debate last night and we were shocked by McCain's comments on ethanol, He clearly stated he would eliminate the ethanol subsidy which is bad enough but then took it a big step futher by stating he would remove the tarriffs on Brazilian ethanol and welcome it into our country.
Gee John, thanks a bunch, the local ag econmy is bad enough right now with crop prices dropping worse than the stock market, and 2009 crop prices all below break even, so lets destroy the US ethanol industry and put more corn back into the market and further depress prices, What a great idea!! And then to twist the knife once you have stabbed the American farmer in the back lets bring in some Brazilian ethanol. What a great way to get to independence from foreign fuel, substitute Saudi oil for Brazilian ethanol. Whoppee, sign me up!!
