My recollection is that Ron justifies subsidies and earmarks cause he’s just returning the taxpayers money to them. Not to the taxpayers who paid the tax, of course, government serves as an intermediary to determine who tax money should be returned to. Government needs to deregulate domestic energy production, from gas to oil drilling to shale to coal, get out of the way, and let private industry and the consumer find the most efficient source of fuel. And if people want windmill cars, that’s ok to, we don’t import the wind.
