Corporate welfare fueled by political contributions

Article Abstract:

The federal government spends millions of dollars each year on ethanol subsidies to prop up the marginal alcohol fuels industries. The politically well-connected Archer Daniels Midland Corp has become the largest corporate welfare recipient, primarily because of ethanol subsidies. Ethanol has been portrayed as a savior for corn farmers and the environment while acting as a bulwark against overdependence on foreign oil. However, its environmental impact is overstated and misleading, and it remains an expensive, artificially sustained industry.
