The Friedman Challenge: Ethanol

"I challenge you to name me a single government program which has accomplished its intended objectives rather than the opposite, which has not done more harm than good" ~Milton Friedman

Government subsidized Ethanol: worse for the environment than oil, massively raises food prices, and starves poor African children to death... yep sounds like the government. It's funny, normally when a group of people do something that "accidentally" results in thousands of dead little kids, it's kind of a big deal.
