And there are some who think Ethanol is part of the Bush plan to forment revolution in Mexico.
Forget your carbon emissions for a moment, the price of tortillas has tripled. The poor in Mexico, deprived of their lucrative US jobs, are now home, if they weren't detained by the Bush Fascists in Immigration prisons. Their families back home are now facing poverty. Terrorists blew up a main Pemex line not long ago. The US has a number of detention camps in this country, sitting empty, waiting for the exodus of Mexican refugees. Why would Bush want to forment a revolution in Mexico?
A power struggle could only boost the influence of US corporations in that country, a great source of labor, and other mineral assets. Secondly Bush wants to create the North American currency, and orphan out our worthless dollars, in the exchange. Third the Republicans see all of Latin America as a leftist hell hole, certain to go terrorist, and sooner rather than later.
Ethanol is a dodge, like Iraq was a dodge, (for Iran), like the stock market and the economy are a dodge, (to further the privatization of Social Security, and steal that money once for all, no IOU's this time). That none of it works doesn't mean you aren't stuck with a phony program, the wrong war, or a bubble economy.
