#3 > So the EU stops US taxpayers subsidizing European consumers.

I don't kn ow who's more daft, the United States of Corporatism for using taxpayers money to waste on biofuel, or the EUSSR for stopping them.

#4 Has anyone thought to ask why it is legal to export a product subsidized for domestic production & consumption?
Clarified, export a subsidized product for Profit??

Must have been the language in the last 1000-page bill that wasn't read...

#5 logi-cal - trust me, you don't want us moving towards a situation where everything which isn't authorized is illegal. Subsidies are asinine, for reasons such as this. Trying to legislate your unintended consequences merely piles tyranny & additional theft on top of idiocy, incompetence, ideology, and theft.

Repeal the subsidy, don't try and prosecute the clever for exploiting your mistakes.

#6 Right, Europeans wouldn't want to rely on a fuel supply from a potentially undependable partner ... oh, wait ...
