Trump traded every motorist in the US and any user of small engines down the river (10% less fuel mileage, fuel system and engine destruction for small and marine engines) AND as a bonus said he'd keep the EPA to enforce that (only the most anti-industry agency in the Federal Government), all to curry favor with Iowa's Governor and the ethanol lobby after they had a cartwheeling sh*tfit because Cruz said he'd get rid of the mandate.

I just wonder what kind of person would elect a President or not elect him for his opinion of corn in Iowa. smh The President does not legislate tax breaks.

You missed the point.

It's the EPA. The agency he said he would use to enforce the ethanol mandate, and which writes its own regulations. Congress abdicated that function to agencies years ago.

It is the one federal agency which has done more than any other to force manufacturing offshore, bankrupt power companies, destroy coal, fight oil and gas drilling and especially hydraulic fracturing, pollute rivers (yes, that's their baby in Colorado), and even prosecute private property owners for filling in mudholes.

If an industry meets the standard, they change it, requiring another refit.

They have declared they own control over all water, surface and subsurface, and have declared CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) a pollutant and that they have the power to regulate it. Every time you breathe out, you exhale that.

Now kindly explain how in the hell we are going to have an economic recovery and "Make America Great Again" when the one agency that has done more to make sure we don't have the electricity, fuel, or materials to do so will continue, business as usual.
