Trump calls for higher ethanol mandate

Donald Trump said Tuesday that federal regulators should increase the amount of ethanol blended into the nation's gasoline supply.

Speaking at an event hosted by the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, Trump, a real estate mogul and the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, said the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ought to follow the ethanol volumes Congress set in 2007.

"The EPA should ensure that biofuel ... blend levels match the statutory level set by Congress under the [renewable fuel standard]," Trump said.


Because small governmentin is hard.

One nice little gem from that article:

Trump spoke very briefly about the ethanol mandate at the beginning of his speech, reading from notes in a straightforward fashion, before continuing onto other subjects in the more lively manner he usually shows in stump speeches.

In other words, "I'm just going to pander for a moment with these notes my political advisors handed me, before I start my speech about how terrible politicians are."

Because limited government and capitalism are silly concepts that won’t make America great again.

/idiocy

Do you know how many posters told me yesterday that conservatism wasn’t the deciding issue in the primary because we had to “save the country first”? It was mind boggling.
