“Using food for fuel has always seemed counterproductive to me.”

I know it’s stupid besides ethanol has been subsidized long
enough. If it cant stand on it’s own by now then it’s just
another dumb idea.

Exactly the move I’d expect from a big government hump - in his worldview, government exists to make business men wealthy and the common people get ice skating rinks and shit. You suckers are so dumb it’s mind boggling. “He cares about us! He loves America! He gets things done! He mocks my enemies!” Sold your political souls for shiney trinkets.

Trump: Same song, second verse. Not what’s best for the country but what’s best for him. Enough is enough.

True. IF Cruz’s stand hurts him in Iowa, it may well help him in the rest of the country.

I want coal and ethanol to be unregulated and unsubsidized.

Donald Trump would get treated like Ron Paul if he said that, however.

“So... what’s the problem?”

Are you into smaller government, or not? Apparently Trump isn’t.

So, you’re okay with lying on the campaign trail?

Thing is, I don’t think this is a lie - ‘cause Trump is a big government liberal.

“It raises the price of food and gasoline but the trade off is a stable and abundant food supply and happy prosperous farmers.”

Yea, plenty of food that no one can afford. Gasoline that is
artificially kept high because it is a mechanism used to
transfer wealth to political cronies and in this case to
buy votes.
Never in my life have I ever heard that over production
lead to higher prices. The problem isn’t production or
transport, it’s ignorant bureaucrats, their bureaucracy
and stupid regulations. Higher prices is how liberals function.
It’s all about control and propaganda. Like believing
that higher prices on the very most important things to
survive is a good thing. Some people actually fall for
some of the stupidest things.

We produce so much food that if we didn’t find uses for it other than eating it, agricultural commodity prices would collapse and producing food would no longer be a profitable endeavor. It raises the price of food and gasoline but the trade off is a stable and abundant food supply and happy prosperous farmers.

I see the messianic DONALD TRUMP (BLESSED BE HIS HOLY NAME) is leading his followers further to the left as he PANDERS FOR VOTES...and the supporters mindlessly follow him.

I would bet the bank, that if Trump gets elected president, he will phase out these mandates...

Using food for fuel to run our cars, is sinful.

The man want’s to be president, and he’s selling his soul in Iowa to get elected. No one, except people like us, are going to remember that he was for the mandates...

You’ve hit the issue dead on. Trump is up to his old practice of saying what excites his crowd. But we don’t really know his core beliefs, do we?

I would revise post #18: It's what you do when you want to win Iowa at any cost.

“The man want’s to be president, and he’s selling his soul in Iowa to get elected.”

Bingo. Just as Trump is very likely “selling his soul” on a plethora of other issues to get elected. He’s been all over the map on virtually every major policy position over the years.

This explains what we’re seeing play out before our very eyes.

Another dumb idea? Like say wind energy!! Stop the fed support of that fiasco and the wind chimes/ ginny raters will become huge ornamental weather vanes.
Not economically viable without US dollars.
