First, are you aware of what exactly the 'subsidies' are? You DO realize they are tax deductions for domestic producers/manufacturers that includes SEVERAL industries, including oil.
Secondly, you are aware that the ethanol blending subsidies, that have been in existance for 30 years, were allowed to sunset on 12/31/11 right? Also allowed to sunset were the import tarrifs of foreign produced ethanol. Both of these are claimed to have a $0.30 per gallon of gasoline. Where's the outrage for discharging these subsidies?
