The irony here is that Cruz is driving around Iowa promising to wreck their economy:

If the mandate is phased out, the farmers will go bust.

Cruz couldn't care less. Goldman Sachs will take care of him.

Hell the only good thing Obama has said i genuinely agreed on him was that America needs to invest in alternative fuels so we could stop buying oil from the Saudis

Not necessarily.

If the corn belt would invest in power generation by an ethanol burning engine, it would be Win Win Win!

Not just for our beloved farmers, but from the nation they would be supplying power to from a renewable resource!

Plus it would be even ANOTHER source local jobs!

Plus a source for state revenue!

No longer dependent on a handout, but giving a hand up and walking upright.

LOL!

The Trump team thanks you for supporting higher gas prices to get Trump elected.

Yay!

"....In one telling moment in Washington, N.H., a young mother of four challenged Cruz about whether he would provide paid family leave. His eventual answer boiled down to nothing: "Politicians love to campaign on giving away free stuff," but, as with the minimum wage, market forces mean such intervention would hurt workers, not help them.

But he leavened this response with personal questions (How old? Boys or girls?) and, believe it or not, empathy: He knows about being the "baby brother with two older sisters"; he understands the "hard challenge" of juggling work and family. The woman may have left unconvinced, but Cruz's deft response revealed a politician both skillful and relatable. The crowd applauded."... Source

So we’ve got loads of resources going into completely unnecessary farming? It’s as if we taxpayers were somehow funding thosands of buggy whip factories in Iowa?

If that’s really the case a) I guess we really can afford to grow all the crops we need for food organically, and b) it’s time we allowed the invisible hand of the free economy to shift our resources into more productive areas.
