No.
He said he wants to continue them until open access can be given to the fuels market for ethanol, then the subsidies would be phased out.
This is an intelligent answer as the POTUS cannot just end the subsidies by executive fiat (unless your name is Obama).
Secondly, ending the program would put thousands of workers in the ethanol industry out of work overnight as the only way to sell ethanol as a fuel is through this stupid program.
So, Walker wants to open the door to competition for ethanol and phase out the subsidies. Then, ethanol can sink or swim on its own.
Walker also knows that he needs congressional approval for any change. His idea is also intelligent because it is a proposal that could win enough support in Congress from corn-growing states....which has been the stumbling block to eliminating the subsidies in the past.
You quote only the first words of what Walker said and omit the detail he provided after those first few words.
That makes you either uninformed or dishonest. I hope you were just uninformed and did not understand his articulate answer.
You have given him the most positive spin possible - and demonstrated a desire to kick the can down the road. Maybe Walker is as strong on this as you say, but given his past statements and the notion that came from that summit - which is that he was among those who wanted it both ways - to assume your assertions are correct would be a fools errand.
And this does not take Congress. This is an EPA driven standard, not Congressional. And there are many ways to unravel it without instantly throwing a lot of people out of work. Then again, they went to work for what they should have known was a crony bullshit industry - wouldn’t bother me to see them out on their keisters.
