Good Thing Vilsack is Secretary of Ag

Yes, the subject is sarcasm.
This is yet another example of why I'm skeptical about government meddling. (I'll also note that the source is hardly right-wing -- it's one of the more leftist magazines around.) That said, I used to think that the ethanol scam was the biggest raid on the US Treasury going. In the context of the last 6 months, it almost seems like small potatoes.
But it's still a scam, and with Vilsack as Sec. of Agriculture (and Obama owing a great deal of his springboard to the Democratic nomination to the Iowa primary, which he bought in part with his support of the scam), this is not a scam that's likely to end any time soon. Not that the Republicans have much of a history of standing up to agriculture scams. I miss Clinton and Gingrich more and more...
