I take it you make your living soaking your fellow Americans with a government-forced mandate, because that’s what we have. The free market wouldn’t be buying this stuff unless we were all forced to, so there wouldn’t be a market for it without the mandate. You can apparently be all for conservatism until it comes to your industry’s own little niche of crony capitalism. The mandate means we have to buy it—and we can only buy it feom t h ose who can afford to be in business supplying it—so of course an (ill-gotten) profit is guaranteed.
That sword cuts both ways. Let’s cut the BS, it’s not really about ethanol, what most non-farmer conservatives are afraid of is anything that competes with their desire for cheap meat.
They are more than happy to use the govt to structure the market, like it did for many years, to create an artificial situation of low grain prices to create great conditions for their little pet project - a nice little supply of cheap meat. They of course don’t care if the farmer makes money or not, just as long as they can get the govt to create the policy to provide their little indirect subsidy.
So let’s cut the little drama queen hypocrisy and expose the other side of this argument and their little niche of crony capitalism. They’re doing the same thing, they’re just pissed they’ve been getting beat at their own game.
