Post more damn lies. Cruz has called for a 5 year phase out of subsidies prior to this. There is no flip flop. There is just a bunch of Trumpanzees flinging poop.

In my opinion, a phase out plan is being against it. Anyway, no one really cares about this. Trump is for it, so they’ve got nothing but hate.

The AG lobby was once the most powerful in DC. It isnt any longer because the Saudi lobby has them by a ton.

This article was proven as an absolute fabrication of the Ethanol Lobby. The Washington Examiner retracted/corrected it:

Cruz never flip-flopped. But you already knew that and decided to post this crap anyway.

If your goal is to have conservatives sit out the election if Trump should win the nomination then you are doing an excellent job.

I’m glad there are people like Sundance who have uncommonly acute insight and willing to keep track of stuff so I don’t have to.

I’ll believe it when I hear it from Heidi Cruz in a money-begging email

Cruz flip-flopped. Whether a supporter of Cruz or Trump or anyone else, Cruz lowers himself to just another establishment republican. His own web site said he would eliminate the Renewable Fuel Standards. Another promise broken.

https://www.tedcruz.org/five-for-freedom/

2. TWENTY-FIVE FEDERAL ABCs

The rate at which we are spending is unsustainable. And federal programs often fail to support their purported beneficiaries while instead propping up special interests. There are far too many members of Congress who willingly hand out special favors to select industries and friends.

Let’s break the Washington Cartel and restore power to the people. Let’s stop handing over billions to federal favorites. We will sharply reduce the alphabet soup of government entities, beginning with the “ABC”s that should not exist in the first place: The Agencies, Bureaus, Commissions, and other programs that are constitutionally illegitimate and harmful to American households and businesses. The following 25 ABCs are emblematic of the types of government functions I will examine, downsize, and reform to limit federal overreach. But these are just a start.

Eliminate the following Agencies, Bureaus, Commissions, and programs:

1. Appalachian Regional Commission

2. Climate Ready Water Utilities Initiative

3. Climate Research Funding for the Office of Research and Development

4. Climate Resilience Evaluation Awareness Tool

5. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

6. Corporation for Public Broadcasting (privatize)

7. Corporation for Travel Promotion

8. Global Methane Initiative

9. Green Infrastructure Program

10. Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program

11. Legal Services Corporation

12. National Endowment for the Arts

13. National Endowment for the Humanities

14. New Starts Transit Program

15. Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund

16. Presidential Election Campaign Fund

17. Regulation of CO2 Emissions from Power Plants and all Sources

18. Regulation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Vehicles

19. Renewable Fuel Standard Federal Mandates

20. Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation

21. Sugar Subsidies

22. Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery

23. UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

24. UN Population Fund

25. USDA Catfish Inspection Program

This is about as much of a “flip flop” as the gay marriage thing.

Ending the subsidies is ending the subsidies which is a whole lot better than supporting subsidies for ethanol AND wind like “some” candidates do.
