Good riddance subsidy!

I bash the use of ethanol in fuel not only because it hurts mileage, but also because it could have been consumed by drinking it. We can get a gallon of ethanol for a couple bucks if we want to burn it in an engine, but if we want to burn it in our body a gallon will cost $50? Crazy if you ask me.

Also, I'm generally critical of most any subsidy that is not research related.
