Nope. More self-sufficiency on a state basis...if a state becomes
economically responsible for itself, then the burden is taken off
the Federal gommit.

Hey, sounds good to me. You folks out in the Midwest subsidize your farmers
to produce ethanol and run your cars on the stuff 100%. Meanwhile take off
that silly mandate that the rest of us burn 10% ethanol in our gasoline. New
York and NJ get first dibs on the foreign crude as it comes into the port,
refine it into gasoline and run our vehicles on that, and, if there's any
left over might send some out your way.


Sounds good to me. And we on the Gulf Coast get to keep all the oil
in the Gulf and all the output from Gulf State refineries.
