Just another big payoff for friends of Obama.
The whole ethanol scam is nothing but theft.
everything in American life, western societies, is based on the honesty of the individual citizen..
..the only reason a country can run fairly smoothly is that MOST of us obey the laws, pay taxes, etc.....
a country can get by when a tiny minority doesn't pay taxes, or commits crime, as long as the majority do...
but when the very govt is committing crime?....there's nothing to do about it....
The ethanol scam is a fully bipartisan project. It is wrong to blame it on Democrats alone. It would, however, be very interesting to learn which refinery gets the exemption. It is undoubtedly a small, obscure refinery that has poor economic performance. It is likely an old, unionized, and hopelessly uneconomic facility owned by a small company.
Conservatives really need to avoid ODS. There are plenty of serious scandals for which Obama has been responsible. This probably isn’t one of them.
