Agreed, no political payback via subsidies, cut them all!

What's not to like about Unicorns?

Did one ever bother you?

Mess with your horse maybe?

What about windmills?

The are very useful.

The Dutch have been making use of wind power for a real long time.

You know, you can also burn that ethanol.

All of those items are far too expensive to wean the world off gasoline, and nothing will make them work except for government throwing money down the proverbial rathole in the form of money-wasting subsidies.

If any of those entities were profitable, private enterprise would be all over it.

How about get rid of all dem's and rep's across the board and replace them with HONEST non-corrupted ordinary citizens that have common sense!

I think the perfect replacements would be mothers that have to plan a tight budget out for a family of four and single dads trying to raise kids on a limited income and seniors living on a fixed income!
