<> In the past couple of weeks, he’s weaseled on scamnesty (foreign invasion by undocumented Democrats) and ethanol subsidies (wealth redistribution). Socialist lite is still socialist.
lol....right. Here's the full story on Walker and ethanol subsidies.
At Iowa summit, Scott Walker shifts gears on ethanol mandate
He says he supports a phase out over time of the federal subsidies. Here's the story on what he said in 2006. From the article:
Ethanol came up when Walker first ran for Wisconsin governor in 2006, but he dropped out before the GOP primary. Before exiting the race, he ran a radio ad saying he opposed then-pending legislation that would have required all mid-grade gasoline in Wisconsin to include 10% ethanol. The measure did not pass.
In a statement at the time, Walker said, "It is clear to me that a big government mandate is not the way to support the farmers of this state. ... The free enterprise system must drive innovation to relieve our dependence on foreign oil, not mandates from the state or federal government." “He says he supports a phase out over time of the federal subsidies.”
****
That is called Socialism lite. He also knows full well that government welfare programs are not phased out over time. In rare instances, they’re terminated. “Phase out” is a joke designed to dupe rubes. It’s like his fellow “conservative” Paul Ryan’s budgets that decrease the amount of deficit spending and might theoretically balance in a decade or so (after racking up another 20 trillion in debt).
