Lest we forget. A Republican proposed the ban and George W. Bush signed it!
Yes, W and his brother Jeb both drink the green energy koolaid. Most conservatives forget that the ethanol program began under Bush. One of the dumbest government programs ever.
I did forget—thanks for reminding me. We lost our way a long time ago, actually. By my reckoning it was about in the 1890s when certain “progressives” became enamored with European socialism. It is a slow erosive progression.
