		<description><![CDATA[Within the tax cut extension that was just passed was the extension of the Ethanol subsidy.  From what I have heard and read, it costs us about $5.2B per year for this &#8216;investment&#8217; directly.  This figure does not include the pricing impact on corn as about a third of US corn production goes into ethanol.  [...]]]></description>

Moral perfection is an unbreached rationality&#8211;not the degree of your intelligence, but the full and relentless use of your mind, not the extent of your knowledge, but the acceptance of reason as an absolute.&#8221; &#8211; Ayn Rand [...]]]></description>
