That would make too much sense. We should increase subsidies but ship
all the crap to China then they will go broke dealing with the effects.

So you're saying chunk the obamacare AND the corn subsidies, thereby killing
corn syrup, saving the economy, and reducing diabetes/heart disease/etc.
resulting in lower national healthcare costs?

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Iowa lobbyists& ADM behind this?
Uh, what's happening in 3 weeks? And who needs a little boost from those
who stand to gain from this idiocy? The article in our local rag had a
quote from the EPA idiot Lisa Something about how wonderful it was to be
using home-grown fuel, etc. then listed about 8 different groups who opposed
it for various reasons, while also mentioning the election in 3 weeks. Also
mentioned problems with boats, small engines, etc. But its wonderful for
America! (and ADM and the farmers who make good money off this huge subsidy
and stupid waste of energy).
And don't get me going about the subsidies for all the processed crap in the
grocery store that makes people hugely obese (75% of Americans are now
overweight-->morbidly obese), thus costing the taxpayers even more to deal
with them and their problems, in part caused by costs to taxpayers to
support their bad life choices.
Ain't life grand?

URGENT REGULATORY ALERT (UPDATE)
EPA Denies E15 Waiver for Pre-2001 Cars, Permits Use in Newer Cars
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency confirmed that there is
insufficient test data to permit E15 to be used in MY 2000 and older
light-duty motor vehicles. The SEMA Action Network (SAN) has
consistently voiced concern that ethanol increases water formation
which can then create formic acid and corrode metals, plastics and
rubber. While the SAN is pleased with the decision that older cars
should not be fueled with E15, the association is disappointed that
the EPA issued an E15 waiver for 2007 and newer vehicles. The agency
is still gathering data for the 2001-2006 vehicles. The EPA's ruling
responds to a request from the ethanol industry to raise the ethanol
content in gasoline from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15).
Consumers will not see E15 at the pump any time soon. The EPA must
first approve regulations on how gas stations will label their pumps
to avoid consumer misfueling. This will take months. Furthermore,
there is no obligation that gasoline retailers market the fuel. In
fact, some retailers oppose the fuel over concern that they could be
held liable if E15 damages a vehicle. The gas stations and
distributors may also need to invest in new storage tanks, hoses and other
equipment.
The SAN will continue to oppose E15 until there are conclusive
scientific findings that demonstrate that it will not harm automobiles
of any age as a result of corrosion or other chemical
incompatibilities. SEMA represents thousands of companies that market
products for these vehicles and, through its SEMA Action Network, millions
of enthusiasts who buy and operate these
automobiles. Questions/comments may be directed to Steve McDonald at
ste...@sema.org.
