Don’t hold back because Jane likes me.

By the way, I noticed on your profile page that you list some things big government has regulated or controlled that are harmful to us and our society. Now while I do agree with your list, I find it quite interesting that you list ethanol as one of those problems.

See, in Iowa the only candidate that wanted to end subsidies to the farmers for ethanol was Ted Cruz.

Now, last year Donald was originally for ethanol subsidies. However, as he considered the views Ted Cruz and other staunch conservatives held, he changed his stand and went against them. Then later in the year another candidate who was against them, changed his view to get the farmers vote in Iowa.

Yup, Ben Carson flipped his stance to all of a sudden become a huge supporter of ethanol subsidies. See, he needed to Iowa to have a chance, and like every Presidential candidate that wants to win Iowa, Carson became the corn farmers great new supporter.

So with Ben Carson now supporting the subsidies for ethanol, he actually overtook Trump in the polls for a week until Trump began viciously attacked him by calling him a pedophile and questioning his Christian faith. Then The Donald did something else that really made a huge difference, he changed his stance again on ethanol by going back to his original stance of supporting the ethanol subsidy.

Well, it wasn’t long before the Trumps attacks by besmirching Carson’s character and faith, along with his flipping back to supporting ethanol subsidies that Trump took the lead in Iowa away from Ben Carson, who was never a factor in the race again.

Now, back to Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz was the only candidate to stand his ground against the ethanol subsidy. Something he has been against since before he began running for the US Senate. Hell, he is against all subsidies for anything for any reason.

Now while it eventually hurt Cruz with the Iowa farmers, he still won Iowa. Interesting how many try to claim that Trump beat Cruz with the evangelicals in Iowa, but it just happens that those evangelicals in Iowa are also corn farmers that are hooked on the Governments subsidies. See, even good Christians can get addicted to welfare and government handouts. The point, is Ted lost the evangelical vote in Iowa to Trump because of the ethanol subsidy, not their agreement with Trump on faith.

So while you rail on your profile page about ethanol, you support a guy who will continue the subsidies and the government intervention to keep the mandate in place as a payoff to the farmers who backed him. His words, not mine. It really makes sense since trump is a huge backer of government bailouts and subsidies for corporate welfare. He always has been.

Along with being against subsidies for ethanol, Cruz is also against subsidies for Big Oil, Big Steel, or any other corporate welfare. Unlike Trump, Ted believes a business must stand on it’s own or fail.

Also, Trump is a huge Union guy, Trump has already stated he will back the Unions and keep them strong. So get ready for Unions in the private sector to get a boost from Trumps administration should he get elected. He is after all, a huge protectionist. Which is exactly what Unions need to keep the businesses they have driven out of the country to come back.

Should Trump win and get his ways, get ready for small businesses to take a huge hit.

Why else do you think trump attacks the right to work laws? he is a Union guy. I know because I have friends in NY who are huge Union people and that is what they love bout Trump.
