Trump has always been a supporter and benefitted from Crony Capitalism.
And Bankruptcies.
Hey, sometimes it takes a little crony capitalism here and there to get rid of the big crony capitalism in DC...
Oh, it is DC... More of the same...
Do you have any idea how many Iowa jobs are on the line? I don’t agree with the subsidy, but; we can’t kill these jobs before we shrink the FED bureaucracy and before we create new jobs. We damn sure do not need more living on Gov programs. I do not even notice my money going there as much as I see it going to state, fed and other gas taxes.
Maybe it should be Keeping America the same again.
Whatever it takes to win Iowa. Even “selling his soul” isn’t too high a price to pay, according to an earlier post defending Trump’s position.
Who cares if it’s bad for America? It’s good for trump!
So you haven’t heard that Cruz told them he’d give them a 5 year Waiver! How Obamaish of Cruz!
Not a yuge Trump fan, but comparing tax breaks to subsidies is disingenuous at best.
That said, this issue raises my hackles and exposes the conservative / populist divide. I don’t suppose it will slow his run, but conservatives should ask themselves some hard questions.
Is there any major difference between ethanol subsidies and Solyndra, except big corn has been successfully stealing for decades and that solar power fraud never ruined anyone’s engine?
