If the Congresswoman wants ethanol subsidies, then she should spend an earmark

Newly Elected Congresswoman Kristi Noem of South Dakota says that ethanol subsidies are important to her state and the nation.

Speaking on the Scott Hennen Show Noem says “Ethanol has been very good to South Dakota.” She said that this is not the time to repeal the subsidy “when you look at taking away that subsidy it is the wrong decision.”

She says that supporting the ethanol industry with subsidy promotes investment and continued hiring “In the long run it will get the economy back on track faster.”

I have nothing wrong with the Congresswoman using federal tax money in her district. Under the earmark program I suggest, the congresswoman would spend a precious earmark to send local dollars to corn growers, why not? A House member is better at selecting goodies for her constituents  than a drunken Irish Senator from Massachusetts.
