How about just ending all the subsidies for corn? That saves money, makes people healthier, and appeases me.

The corn farmers, getting much more benefit per person than the masses who are inconvenienced by the subsidies (both in terms of tax revenue and things like the ethanol fiasco), will fight harder to keep the subsidies than the anti-subsidy forces will fight to get rid of them, and thus they will stay until some seismic shift should come.


Yeah, I don't know if you noticed, but most of the things I propose have no chance of passing without a seismic shift. In fact, relative to my other believes, this one's kinda realistic.
