And encouraging that the most Huff Post readers (except for a very active poster who is trying desperately to challenge every ethanol-policy) are not buying Barr's arguments. Fingers crossed, but for the first time in 30 years there is a real chance that the VEETC will be allowed to expire. (Let's hope that the tax breaks for the oil industry are also repealed.)Regarding Barr, it is, indeed, depressing to see libertarians selling out. But that's the unfortunate state of libertarianism in the United States. While there are many intelligent libertarian thinkers, the people the Libertarian Party support for public office too often fall far short of their own ideals. Good piece.
