[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1063858, member: 14544"] I think this answers the question. But more broadly, we mandated ethanol use and then my understanding is that importation of ethanol is obstructed, so the impact if felt harder here. I think the hardest of concepts, the ones with all the moving parts will still have basic natural laws that apply. Like the law of gravity. If it goes up, and stays inside this atmosphere, it will come down. You can try to delay this coming down with engines and wings, but you still come down. These economists that claim you can spend your way out of recession, are pumping fuel into a plane they are trying to keep in the air forever. The fuel will run out. If you're on the run way, not a problem. If you are at 10,000 feet- not a good thing. Same with trying to convolute all the ethanol practices. If you pull enough of the corn supply into a wasteful practice, you will drive the market. It all boils down to supply and demand. If you start calling 2+2=7, then yes, you can make a great argument. As long as we accept 2+2=4, then it won't add up. A few more years of this funny math taught in school and I will obviously be wrong on this. [/QUOTE]
