Coburn Trying To Eliminate Tax Break For Ethanol

It is about time someone does something to stop the boat anchor known as corn ethanol before it wastes any more taxpayer money.  Sen. Tom Coburn has introduced a bill that will cut the $6 billion handout for ethanol.
If this bill passes maybe this horrible experiment, for our environment and our pocketbook, will just go away.  It is funny that something even Al "The Green Machine" Gore says is a horrible policy is once again being pushed by the EPA.  The EPA is pushing for the minimum percentage of ethanol in gas to be 15% - up from the 10% now.  Isn't this agency supposed to protect the environment?

Guess Who Agrees That U.S. Corn Ethanol Was Not A Good Policy?

The man who says it was not good policy is none other than Mr. Global Warming Al Gore.  Like every other government program - once it gets going - he admits it is almost impossible to stop it.  Why did the global warming guru support the policy when he was running for president?  He needed the mid-west farmer vote.
