Default Ethanol take a shot across the bow

Today the Senate overwhelmingly voted to cut ethanol subsidies.

I grew up in Iowa, have gone to several Farm Aid concerts, support family farms, and my brother recently had to sell his farm which was sad because it was a great spread; but ethanol sucks and I hope this policy proves beneficial for all in the end.

Hopefully this will lead to pure gas for my old boat, but I won't hold my breath. What it will lead to is more and more subsidy cuts. Hopefully our fearless leaders will cut the fat rather than the cheese...
