The massively subsidized and mandated diversion of food into ethanol production has spiked food prices and hunger around the world. Never have the farmers' image of being noble yeoman been further from their sordid, venal truth. Here's an example of the evil corn ethanol hath wrought.
An evil I might add that was ushered in by progressives who made it acceptable for the politically powerful to line their pockets via Federal regulation. Before the proggos came along, evil and corrupt people stole from the public in the traditional way, shorn of any "public interest" propaganda. Now stealing from the people has become a liberal sacrament necessary to "save the planet" or promote "equality". And the faithful sure are chewing a lot if wafer these days.
Proggos have ruined this country, the world, and even worse, corrupted the farmers in Iowa, the all important primary. I have lost all respect for farmers. Maybe Joni Ernst will set them back on the straight and narrow.
