Although the bill declares economic war on the citizens of New York, Connecticut, California, and other places which don't have the ethanol. By the way, I say to my good friend from Iowa, I would not make the analogy that what the ethanol producers are doing is the same as what OPEC is doing with the oil, both causing the price to go way up.
