"Look, I recognize this is a gathering of a lot of folks who the answer you'd like me to give is, 'I'm for the RFS, darn it.' That'd be the easy thing to do," Cruz said at the Iowa Ag Summit in Des Moines. "But I'll tell you, people are pretty fed up, I think, with politicians that run around and tell one group one thing, tell one group another thing, and then they go to Washington and they don't do anything they said they would do."

“Cruz’s unapologetic opposition to the Renewable Fuel Standard”
I applaud Senator Cruz for that. Ethanol is nothing more than a payoff to the corn producing states. Iowa being the first in the nation to choose a candidate has alot to do with it.

Ted Cruz has integrity. “Republicans” who like ethanol subsidies don’t.
In a nutshell this defines the battle for American government. Politicians who tell the truth versus politicians who say whatever they think the current crowd wants to hear. Limited government that promotes freedom versus strong government picking winners and losers.

That’s a great fight to pick, because ethanol is a loser.
Costs more to produce than gas.
Bad for engine life.
More pollutants per mile, because the mileage sucks.

Cruz must be feeling pretty good about Iowa to come out against Ethanol mandates.

These hucksters put their own financial gain ahead of the well being of the nation. It’s worse than dragging a hundred dollar bill through an Arkansas trailer park.

I say let ‘em “grow” all the ethanol they want - but kill the subsidy and let the market play out.

The State of Iowa has hired the two biggest K Street Lobbyist.
They hired one for the Republicans and one for the Democrats.
It is not like the actual Big Corn hired them, it is the State of Iowa that has hired them.
The corn producers don’t even have to pay for their own lobbyist.

The sooner they get that ethanol crap out of gas the better. It screws up carburetors,lowers gas mileage and uses more energy than it produces. It’s a classic Washington screw up.
