Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin explained why Donald Trump, the supposed anti-establishment candidate, is siding with the establishment on the ethanol mandate. It has everything to do with trying to pander for votes.
Levin explained what crony capitalism is. That it is the state picking winners at the expense of others. In the case of ethanol they have made it mandatory in cars, even though it is proven that it does not reduce oil usage, because oil is needed for the production of ethanol. That it hurts engines.
The most damaging thing that ethanol does, according to Levin is add to famine and poverty in the third world, by limiting the production of food crops, as the land is used to grow ethanol feedstock instead of food.
Levin focused on the fact that Donald Trump is going all in for ethanol to pander to Governor Terry Branstad in Iowa. He told his audience that Branstad's son makes a living from the ethanol industry.

Remind me again how many elections Mr. Levin has won.
Thanks.

Done. Elect me president

We’d have to check your bona fides and verify that you’ve shaken off the Trump zombieness...but you’re likely better in my book than Donald since he wants to keep the mandates.
The http://pure-gas.org/ website is what I used. Only 72 “gas stations” selling it in all of Ohio.
It also gives the Congress and lobbyists 5 years in which to reinstate the subsidy as a rider in whatever bill Cruz wants passed. There's no guarantee the subsidy would be going anywhere. Just politics as usual.
What an astoundingly unthinking statement.
Congress can change anything, anytime -- whether it's cancelled completely now or in five years. Sit down for a minute, calm down, and consider how shallow your thought was.
You two are liars.
Phasing something out in 5 years is not the same thing as calling or it to be expanded.
The phase out is so it doesn’t crash the ethanol industry overnight. It is phasing it out in a responsible way and getting rid of it.
Duh...
Just because you don’t like someone doesn’t mean you have to lye about it.
It is the plea of a woman whose resume reads like a trilateral commission bushy hating paranoic’s nightmare
Nonsense ... if Trump is the establishment’s choice , why are most of the establishment’s candidates still in the race ? ... you might want to rethink that assertion
Can't disagree with you on that. I simply have no faith that the program would go away at all even under Cruz.
Sorry to take it out on Cruz, but I don't trust the political class.
Thanks, I was looking for this video.
$5, $10, $100

Go, Mark!
“The most damaging thing that ethanol does, according to Levin is add to famine and poverty in the third world”
Does he mean we’re morally obligated to feed the world? A very liberal position I’d say.
That is a very caustic remark.
The byproducts of it make excellent animal feed.
What's being lied about?
What has Trump lied about ?
Okay, can we check your record now?
