I’m not sure you are being logical. Whether or not those things would exist without subsidies is not the point. The point is that if Cruz’s is a real conservative, as he likes to say, he will stand against ALL subsidies-even oil.
Yes , it does make a difference whether an industry would even exist without a subsidy promoted by the EPA. There was just the red herring about crop insurance over the weekend , and Iowa gets its share there I’m sure. Cruz voted for that and a lot of the Freepers on the thread said that was pandering. But corn is another thing that would exist without subsidies and there would be a market for it. So, all subsidies are not created equal.
Yet Trump is to the Fascist Left of OBAMA on federal subsidies for ETHANOL by his own words.
I truly worry about all this false-messiah worship. In 2008 it was Obama for the leftists. Today it's Trump for self-proclaimed Conservatives and average Americans.
Hear me - NO ONE, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE GOP CONTENDERS is going to save us, or fix a DAMNED THING from DC.
The entire institution of government is corrupt and corrupted. No politician or businessman or any single person is going to be able to fix it from within a corrupted system.
All this nastiness over vain hopes in a political Savior is truly growing frightening.
The point is that if Cruz’s is a real conservative, as he likes to say, he will stand against ALL subsidies-even oil.
