Trump knows absolutely NOTHING about this ethanol issue, except that it was an opportunity to pander to Iowans and demagogue Cruz over. Trump reflexively resorted to yet another of his bold faced lies, when I saw him on TV say that Cruz was “totally against ethanol”. Yes, hard to believe, but he just blabbed it out. Cruz fully supports ethanol, as part of the free energy market. No subsidies or mandates for any form of energy.
YES, but why would they want to know that, not productive to the cause.
GEE, I seems to remember Freepers howling against All Subsidies in the past, but then I could be wrong.
Flip floppers?
The above link is to a video where an Iowa farmer confronts Cruz about taking away the ethanol subsidies. Cruz calms him down, and then explains how “there will be no bigger fighter for farmers than me.” Talks about the EPA, water, and death taxes.
Then spends a bunch of time about how removing the subsidies, AND removing the mixture limits (”blend wall”) for ethanol will open up the ethanol market on the free market. Cruz goes into different vehicles using the mid-level fuel amounts. Etc. Pretty amazing his knowledge.
Cruz says “Go talk to him (pointing) - he builds most of the ethanol plants - he’s for me.”
