Sunday Thought On Alternate Fuel

Is anyone else as tired as I am of hearing politicians talk about rescuing the people from "our energy crisis"? They refer to the state of the economy, and try to make us think if we just had things like alternate fuels we would have more money. Well what if we had put the 51.2 Billion dollars that were recently invested in corn fuel back into the economy. I mean since that 51.2 Billion was tax dollars anyway. However 51.2 Billion is a lot of money, but it doesn't hold a candle to the 177.6 Billion in farm subsidies to grow corn for alternate fuels. Now the only reason for that is to partially (thats right partially) replace the corn that we use for food products, and feed for livestock. So if these politicians want to really help us then how about they stop taking our hard earned tax money and blowing it on "corn fuel."
