No it was not to increase the fuel supply. It was “green” and “renewable” that big government loves. It had nothing to do with supply of oil or economics.

Not to worry! Sarah Palin is a failed Governor from a cold state. She can’t have much of a following among Conservatives. The Natural Born Canadian can pull this out!

Wasn’t the whole thing about ethanol to increase our fuel supply? And how is ethanol produced? Yep.

Cruz wants to eliminate the subsidy in 5 years. Wouldn't it be smarter to just determine what the equates to over a 5 year period and just cut a check? That way, there wouldn't be 5 years of administrative costs associated with it and whatever government infrastructure there is could be eliminated. Money saved.

Then why add it to gasoline? If it was so green all cars should be running on it then without fossil fuel. It costs more to make ethanol from corn than what it costs to pump oil and refine it. Secondly, how can it be renewable if it is burned in an engine? Can you reclaim it and use it over again? A chemical transference (in this case burned as fuel) it is converted to heat which is dissipated into the air. How are you going to get it back?

The term "renewable energy" is so over used. Once it's used, it's gone.

You realize that Trump has only spent less than $5 million of his own money on the campaign since he announced in June, and those expenses will either be paid back to him or be written off.

Contrast that with people like Jeb and Rubio who have literally pissed away hundreds of millions of dollars on ads and traditional media that haven't moved their poll numbers tenths of percentages.

None of this matters much. Trump doesn't care about ethanol. Just a ploy to try and win Iowa.

Exactly. The man is a liberal and his record proves it. He can and will say anything necessary to fool the gullible. And fool them he has.

Yes, why...

There’s significantly less energy in a gallon of ethanol verses a gallon of gasoline so your car gets less mileage requiring more fuel to travel the same distance.

It is all about cronyism and going “green”. Never mind the “green” part isn’t actually true.

Jim Robinson:

We can thank Trump for single-handedly taking out JEB, the media, the GOPe & their big donors and even setting the dems back a notch or two. And he has barely spent any money doing it while the corrupt GOPe and related PACs have wasted tens if not hundreds of millions trying to hold on to their power base. And I don't feel humiliated a bit. Grateful that PC is being destroyed and the rules rewritten.

I am not going to agree with everything Trump advocates.

Do I like corn subsidies for Ethanol? No.

There are probably ten things Trump is going to do, and perhaps even 20 that cause me to think this is the least of our problems.

Trump actually wants federal regulators to force higher percentages of ethanol blended into gasoline.

Again he wants big government to force it on American citizens.
