Wants to bring down some rates to make them revenue neutral and close some loopholes. Won't happen by Aug 2.
Thinks ethanol subsidies really will be phased out.
Asked about Clinton telling Obama not to blink. Cornyn says a "mini deal" is a bad idea but it might be necessary and it can be 're-litigated before the election.'
Asked about Obama and Reid demagoguing taxes. Said reform won't happen by Aug 2. Said Nov 10 was about cutting spending, not raising taxes. Schmuck Schumer accusing Republicans of undermining the economy for 2012 advantage. Says that rhetoric doesn't help, says Obama's doing a fine job undermining the economy already.
Asked about Schumer and ignoring the debt ceiling. Says it's "crazy talk." Says Obama's proposal must be upfront, not behind close doors so the American people can see what's coming and not be surprised after the fact.
Asked about Libya. Cornyn'll vote against some resolution coming up and offer his own. Thinks Libya goals need to be defined.
He politely called Shmuck a liar.
Graham Lieberman up, time to change the channel.
blah blah blah.
That kind of radical thinking could force ethanol to become actually profitable, not "get close enough to break-even that the government subsidy will make us a profit" profitable. Imagine what this country would be like if private sector people actually tried to make a profit, and people all across the country thought that making a profit was a good and noble thing. It might cause a fundamental transformation of America.

“Cornyn says Obama is trying to run out the clock, demand something get passed last minute so no one can review it.”
Well duh. This is why the Republicans need to bring this to a boil ASAP. For example propose an obamcare style televised roundtable with Barry and the useless senate dims. The more Barry refuses to produce a scorable budget proposal or meet with Republicans on their terms the more unserious and partisan he looks.
As far back as I remember... re-litigating” has always been promised... and that promise is never fulfilled. Will this be another example of the cowardly republican leadership caving? I have a pretty firm opinion on that.

This thinking is why I despise the GOP leadership. Weak men as Cornyn have no clue about economics or Liberty. Ethanol subsidies and the mandates should be ended immediately. No if, ands or buts. Anything phased out usually isn't really phased out.
A dynamic, free economy would quickly rebound once freed from the chains of command and control and insane subsidies. Millions of citizens lost their jobs "suddenly" since the Marxist took power. It's part of life.
Make the parasites of government lose their jobs suddenly. Make the parasites receiving subsidies suddenly lose taxpayer paid easy money.
The evil government parasite class has nearly destroyed our Republic. This includes most in the GOP leadership. I pray in 2012 they can be replaced with "slash and burn" Patriots.
