Editorial: End ethanol subsidies and tariffs
The editorial argues that ethanol policy failed to reduce oil dependence or improve the environment.

Election pressures may affect outcomes, but the editors back repeal efforts.

Bipartisan Budget Fixes Face Long Odds Amid Proposals
The piece critiques a Biden led effort to fix the 14 trillion dollar debt crisis and highlights The Heritage Foundation plan funded by The Peterson Foundation. It outlines a ten year budget balance goal, a 30 percent debt-to-GDP target in 25 years, and a half sized federal government by 2036 with Social Security Medicare and Medicaid reform. It describes a shift to a flat Social Security benefit, higher retirement ages, phased benefit reductions for high earners, a $10,000 annual tax deduction for those who work past full retirement age, and new auto enrollment savings plans. The Medicare changes aim to transform the program toward sustainability.
