POTUS is catching heck, on Twitter (nothing new!) about his support for higher ethanol limits (E15), that he’ll supposedly propose and talk about, at rally, tonight.
Some are saying....payoff to Farmers.
Others are saying....payoff to Grassley.
Most are saying....it’s a terrible idea.
I sure wish IA wasn’t the first stop on a Prez campaign trail :(
IMHO he's throwing an offset to farmers and farm communities to keep them from bailing on the election.
Sometimes you have to bend.
In this case I believe the President is making a concession with his eye on the big issue which is not letting democrats take the house or senate in November.
Problem is, once the 15% policy is out there's no going back.
Same as when the original 10% was set - another GW Bush Boondoggle.
I don't like the ethanol policy at all but it is still better than seeing democrats sweep the November election.
Hopefully it helps accomplish that.
