What’s wrong with Trump being for the ethanol mandate? Maybe he’s saying that he supports growing corn.
If he had said he was against ethanol but was for growing corn for consuming, would that change the act of growing corn?
Corn farmers would still have work. The ethanol producer would have a cow.
What's wrong with the Obamacare mandate? There is no difference - being forced to pay higher prices to pay off one particular industry.
If he had said he was against ethanol but was for growing corn for consuming, would that change the act of growing corn?
Bad analogy. A better analogy would be if Trump said you were required to buy enough corn to feed every member of your family 2 ears of corn per meal, 3 meals a day every day - even if you are allergic to corn.
