And Perry had an honest conversation with the farmers in Iowa.
Dec 13, 2011 - Presidential Candidate [Perry] Holds Agriculture Conference Call [30 minute audio]
It's interesting to listen to the exchanges in that call. Gov. Perry tells it straight. He says NO subsidies for ethanol, oil and gas, etc. -- and CUT regulations on the other end. Let the free market decide; if states want to fund local business, that's fine but keep the Feds out of it.

......"We dont need to have government picking winners and losers in this business, Perry said during a news conference in Des Moines. Let the folks get out there with the regulations off their back. I have a good idea that the farmers in Iowa can compete with anybody in the world....... August 27, 2011: Perry wants a level playing field & an end to ethanol mandate (audio)
He aint skeered.
“...if states want to fund local business, that’s fine but keep the Feds out of it.”
“...Government tampering with free enterprise and trying to central plan it all.”
I sense a contradiction here. Why is it ok for a State Government to tamper with free enterprise, central plan it all, and take from one to fund another local business, as long as the Federal Government is kept out of it?
I want them BOTH kept of of it - and by the way, so does the constitution.
