Why would anyone pay any attention to what people in Iowa think except maybe Iowa residents!

They could wipw thw atate off the map and very few would miss it!

Using the Donald Trump method 'round here, should we be surprised that T-Paw has support for ethanol considering he comes from Minnesota? I don't like it but it doesn't surprise me.

Well, from what I’ve seen nobody should be afraid of beating Obama and having to clean up after him, with the brilliance they’ve had to offer up to this point.

Another thing that raises food prices.

And flat out waste. If it ethanol was so great it would have private funding up the wazoo.

It’s our own fault for allowing IA to have such enormously disproportionate influence in our choosing of a president.

Here's an Iowan who heartily agrees. Iowa, however, encourages the worst that either party can offer and the various "worsts" will make sure it remains "first."

All federal laws that mention energy and/or farming violate the 10th Amendment, and those laws should be repealed.

I’m 100% against farm and energy subsidies.

I oppose ethanol subsidies, but if I had been a Republican running for governor (and then reelection) in MN (where Republicans need all the help they can get) and then was running for president (where doing well in next-door, ethanol-addicted IA pretty much a must if I’m to have a chance at the GOP nomination), I would probably say things like “ethanol subsidies need to be reformed, not eliminated.”

I’d rather had a president who would refuse to compromise on major issues such as national defense, the right to life, keeping taxes as low as possible, the right to bear arms, and enforcement of immigration laws but make deals on relatively minor issues such as ethanol subsidies than the other way around.
