With all the ethanol subsidies, and the EPA up everyone's butt with special blends (16 I think) the added cost to a gallon of gas is about 36 to 42 cents. If we could just get them out of our fuel then we would have better gas at a cheaper cost, I have been told that food prices would go down also. NO E10 or E15, it uses more fuel for less power it also kills fuel systems over time.

Subsidies in general should be removed across the board, I know many sectors enjoy from these subsidy programs, There are even some on this board that receive subsidies in their fields. Fuel prices were typically regulated by supply and demand. Now fuel prices are in large part pure Tax and are manipulated by the stock market speculation and EPA regulations. This country is suppose to be a free market. Thus like any business or like Darwin stated. "Survival of the fittest". If a business or industry does not work produce or is just not viable then it must evolve or die. We all have to deal with adversities in our daily lives and evolve around these obstacles. For a long time we comment on todays society being cuddled. Politicians on both sides have been cuddling all industries and society with subsidies. Subsidies come out of all of our pockets. Many lobby the government for handouts. This country grew out of hard work and determination. Stop all subsidies, Use these funds for the national debt. Oh and the wall.

Respectfully, I disagree on the short-term subsidies (from tax dollars). As a taxpayer, you are then a forcible share-purchaser but with no chance at financial returns on your forced investment. There IS a place for short-term subsidies--that's what the venture capital market is for. People who CHOOSE to back new and risky ventures front operating money, with both risk and potential of return. All of that should be 100% private, freely chosen by willing investors. Anything else is another form of Solyndra.
There's another crime in any form of subsidies. Suppose you have a business and then something comes along to compete with you, and the government uses tax dollars to subsidize that. That's absolutely horrible. You are forcibly paying taxes that are being used to fund your competition. It's criminal.
TRULY free markets are the only moral approach.

Also on a side note, Boss says employees who agree with Trump's rhetoric should resign IMHO Grub Hub just opened themselves up for a bunch of lawsuits.

I can't say I know a lot of the details of those sorts of tax breaks, but as a rule, I'm against both the specific breaks that get bought from politicians AND against most of the taxes in the first place.
(And I agree, the GrubHub jerk may well have plopped himself into legal trouble.)
