the auto industry has pretty much paid back its bail out, some of it at a decent rate of return. I'm not sure what the status is of the money loaned to Wall Street, but I know some of it has been paid back.

How about crop subsidies, especially those cases where we paid to NOT grow certain crops? The whole ethanol mandate was a gift to the corn lobby. The Brazilians use switch grass and get something like a fourteen-fold yield over corn. We've mandated converting food to fuel.
