Ted operates like that. Sneaky all the time. He is the consummate fence straddler.
Five years from now we may not have a country and we are supposed to worry about ethanol? LOL
If we are going to pay out a subsidy over 5 years, just cancel the program outright, cut a check to the ethanol suckers equal to the amount of the subsidy and shut down every administrative expense in D.C. related to the program. We save money alone dumping the dead weight in D.C. and Congress and the lobbyists don't get a chance to play shenanigans with the program for 5 years.
Done. Elect me president.
