And what does that have to do with anything. The government should not be in the business of picking winners or losers.
Even if you could make a constitutional case that they should be, which I am positive you can’t, what is the government’s track record in picking winners to subsidize? Solyndra?
The market was ready for a correction because it had been overbought and China’s problems loom because of dynamics in China—not because of the price of gas.
Yeah, some energy stocks have taken a hit, but other stocks are doing better than they would have been doing without the break in gas prices that has given consumers and businesses more spending money across the country.
You should get yourself out of the corn fields and into an economics class.
You may get a wall if Trump is elected. And you will have touchback amnesty, making the wall meaningless.
Trump has been on both sides of every issue and simply should not be trusted. He has already talked about cutting deals with Congress.
You implied. You get the best at the best price but never cheap enough. Why not attack real welfare and not the working stiffs paying the bills and supplying the goods. It is like the left wing sleepers emerge against the nation’s #1 and best industry.
Obama printed trillions of dollars and passed much of it through the banks. The banks didn’t loan it out, they bought stock for a higher return. More demand for stock drives the price of stock up. It’s a viscous cycle until the newly printed money runs out - it running out.

And yet Trump is caving to the special interests.
No corrupt deal is too small for Trump.
You speak of “welfare?” And are in favor of ethanol subsidies? Jeepers.
You’re living in the land of plenty friend. If you have a problem with all this prosperity, you should move to Africa but please, don’t try to recreate Africa here by bankrupting our agricultural industry.
Why don’t you quote me where I implied food prices were cheaper outside the country. I look forward to this... Is English your first language?
That is true and it is a legitimate issue that ought to be addressed.
Welcome to the new Free Democratic Underground Republic where conservatism is optional and everything needs to be fair.
What about the 99%? /sarc
I suspect you need to rethink your line-of-argument, somewhat. If I am living in the “land of plenty” (your term), then why do I need to subsidize ethanol production?
I was 6... Wasn’t driving much...
It becomes an important issue when one group decides they want to start experimenting with the food supply.
So you can continue to live in the land of plenty instead of the land of hunger and despair.

We do? He seems more like a vacuum cleaner salesman with a bad haircut to me.
Who cares if it’s bad for America? It’s good for trump!
That’s usually what people say, when they really are arguing that I need to open my pocketbook and pay my “fair” share.
Ethanol keeps Archer Daniels Midland profitable.
