Couple of things

- I've said it before, but I'm content with increasing fees on students.

- Here we go again ...

- My take on this has always been rather simple ... the price of, say, corn is going up because more of the product is being allocated for non-food purposes. As a result, there needs to be a concerted effort (if we're going to pursue ethanol as an alternative fuel source) to increase the production of corn (i.e. grow more), thus increasing the supply and lowering costs. Now, granted, ethanol has its own concerns with regard to its impact on the environment, but other biofuel products appear to be more green friendly. The key is finding ways to incentivize and encourage more growth of a particular biofuel to minimize cost increases. Folks are wringing their hands when simply economics easily solves this problem.

- Yeah, this is a great way for Republicans to make a comeback.
