It seems to me the Corn Belt cannot complain considering how costly federal government mandated 10% corn-ethanol-gasoline is to consumers in all fifty states.

Ethanol fuel is one of the greatest special interest subsidies in USA history. If we had truly free markets corn-ethanol as a fuel constituent would disappear in thirty days.

The CPI fell from 9.1% to 3% due to a 50% decrease in oil prices.

The CPI will be on the upswing again fueling another round of inflation.

Get ready.

That always happens before the switch to winter fuels...It will happen again in the spring before the switch to summer fuels.

True, but it never happened unless the climate warriors hadn't been involved too.

Lots of other problems would go away if people would stop trying to 'help'.
