Well, now that corn-syrup is not selling as well as it once did, the govt. has to find new ways to prop up the unprofitable corn industry it subsidizes, so they're pushing ethanol.

It would make vastly more sense to force the corn farmers to switch to a crop that actually has sustainable market value and doesn't need to be subsidized (y'all remember the images in the 80's of warehouses of corn left to rot just to keep the price up?)

Oh well, if it's not one special interest group getting the govt to prop them up at taxpayer expense, it's another. Pick your poison, I guess.
