The RFS must be eliminated, how many more billions do we have to take out of the economy (14 million household @ $100 increased food costs per month is $14 billion!), and how many more billions of tax payer dollars need to keep propping this boondoggle up!If it is a viable source of fuel it will survive on its own! Eliminate the RFS now! btw Rep. Bob Goodlatte voted to start the RFS in 2005 when he was Chair of the Agriculture Committee.. that is why he wants flexibility, not elimination! The GOP and Dems have flexibly mounted up $16 Trillion in debt, and this is a good example of how it happens! Flexibility leaves the mandate intact.
